I can honestly say that I truly appreciate the Metro News. I mean what's not to like about a free,…read moredaily newspaper. It's compact size makes for easy reading on the bus or at the kitchen table, and you can literally pick one up anywhere, whether it's from one of the many newsstand boxes throughout the HRM or from a street distributor. In comparison to a subscription newspaper, Metro offers significantly less news coverage and does not include an index, but is great for seeing the news at a glance.

I recently discovered the Metro News Paper. This is a great free paper…read more You will find it located all over , some times it is in a stand on its own, this would be outside in a green bin. When inside it is located with the other free magazines. It is a great paper, covering international news but focusing a lot of our own city. It is a very easy read and it about half the size of a regular paper. I look for the Metro now when I am around town. Be sure the get one early, they tend to fly off the racks quick.

It feels weird to review this as "print media" when I almost never pick up a copy…read more As a returning/mature student, I do find many articles are geared towards people younger than I. But I'm a fan of the Gazette for many reasons. One, their Web site. They realize that their target population is online a good deal of the time so have online-only content and make the majority of print content online as well. Two, their social media. They connect via social media such as Facebook and Twitter to entice you to their site. Three, timeliness and relevance. Not always but often. The Gazette's pretty good for staying on top of issues that are trending. Something that can't always be said fro "traditional media." Four, range of topics. The Gazette doesn't just cover on-campus events, they reach out into the community and bring global issues home. All in all, good stuff.

Get your queer on!…read more Wayves is a free semi-monthly magazine produced by volunteers from within the Atlantic Canada LGBTIQ (etc) community. Physical copies are distributed to a variety of locations throughout the region or you can download a copy off their Web site. What I love about Wayves is that it tells "our stories." I've found out about a lot of events or groups through Wayves. I've even written for Wayves to inform others about events I know of that they may not. A great, free resource for the queer community.

Eggs Films, we had the opportunity to go for an Open-Mic Casting Session. What an experience,…read morehaving never been in a recording studio before, this was special. Fist let me say, we were nervous. The staff offered us a drink (non alcoholic), and we relaxed (as much as we could) in this great room, the decor was so fun, vibrant colors on the walls, egg like shapes covering lights , just a great overall feel. Don the Radio Director was so nice, he just kept saying relax, have fun, it really was a fantastic experience. As you can tell, I do not have the experience of my fellow yelper Joshua, but I would say this company has everything you could possibly be looking for. I will say the parking is none. You will have to park at the Metro Parking down the street. Don was nice enough to give me a heads up on this before we went.

Want to be in a commercial? Need a commercial made for your business?…read more These are two out of many things Egg Films does for people in Halifax and from out of town as well. Egg Films has won numerous awards for innovative and original marketing. I have worked for them as an Actor for over thirty commercials in television, radio and the Internet. So I know first hand how professional they are and how committed they are to having a very strong product. I guess this then begs the question, am I biased or not. My answer would be a no simply because of one fact; I also work for their competitors. Admittedly they don't have many competitors and there are even less who can compete at their level of production. But I still go over to other studios and perform for their commercials whenever I get the call. They don't just look for actors for commercials however. They also do the production of commercials and animations as well. Whether it is print campaign's, television commercials or content made for the Internet, they do it and are the best at it in Atlantic Canada. There are more services than I am even aware of however, so give them a call if you need to know more. I can't say enough great things about Egg Films and how talented they are. Their staff are all creative people who are very friendly and fun to work with. They simply do it right and the awards they have won and undoubtedly will win in the future speak to this truth. So if you want to be in a commercial or need one developed, Egg Films is one of the best phone calls you could ever make.
