While I don't live in Sherwood Park I do work here so I like to know what's going on and what is…read morenew and exciting in the county. I will say for a small local paper the Sherwood Park news does and amazing job of doing just that. The articles are just the right size for taking the paper on the bus while still providing enough detail to make it feel like the subject matter was adequately reported on. I also love that the paper is chalk full of stories that pertain to just the area with limited mention of Edmonton and Edmonton related stories. With Sherwood Park sitting so close to Edmonton's borders I know many look at it as just another part of Edmonton when in reality it is it's own community with a unique personality all it's own. Also there is a lovely balance of harder subject matter and feel good stories. With things in Alberta sadly being the way they are currently it's easy to get caught up in doom and gloom happenings but you can also flip open the paper here and read wonderful things about the holiday fundraiser for the women's shelter and the province providing funding to Strathcona Transit to buy more busses. The Sherwood Park news is a great five star local paper to get informed about Strathcona County whether your a citizen or just visiting like myself.

This newspaper deserves a lot more credit than it gets. I stumbled across The Metro by mistake. I…read morewas on the bus and the person sitting next to me left his paper behind. With print going into decline thanks to the Internet, the Metro is the only newspaper in Edmonton that I feel has merged the two mediums together. I think of it as a Digital-Print Magazine. They plug in highlights from their social media outlets (like Twitter feeds) into sidebars on the newspaper, which I find useful since I use Twitter very often. If you want to take the paper along with you without physically carrying the paper, you can use your smart phone to scan the QR Code (kind of like a barcode) that let's you access a particular section of the newspaper instantly from your cellphone. I think that's pretty neat. You can also download and view the day's newspaper from their website as well, if you like. I like the articles they write, too. They all seemed very relevant and I could relate to them very easily. Lots of good tech news as well.

Metro is another free "newspaper" here in Edmonton. And like Francesca said, I don't think anyone…read morewould actually pay for it anyways. The Metro is disappointing. The articles are nothing of real interest. I don't even really see the point of this newspaper. With papers like Vue Weekly and See Magazine, I don't understand how Metro survives. I have also seen the pages of Metro littering our streets and numerous public restaurants and coffee shops. But I've never seen anyone actually reading one of them. I think that people like the idea of the free paper but once they pick it up, they are grossly disappointed.

I have been using this Minuteman Press location for all printing and signage since 2012…read more There are many printers and sign companies in the greater Edmonton area, and they will all do a good job. The one thing that sets this location apart is the people. The people in this location are some of the kindest, dedicated people that you will meet and their level of commitment to you as a client raises the bar for everyone else. Yes, I said client and not customer. I am happy to say that I am both a client and a friend to this company and that's to say that we have developed a business relationship of mutual understanding and respect. The work they deliver is beautiful - for all printing styles: cards, signs, posters, catalogues, anything you can dream of they can print. If you need help with the design - they can do that as well. They can bring your imagination to life. I highly recommend using this printer. Try them out - you will become a client.

No commercials. Unique programs…read more No creepy loud stereotyped DJs and no silly billboards around town. Independent radio - what's not to like? Something for everyone, funded by the public. A dying breed amongst radio stations? I hope not, but even CBC radio 2 has ads and plays the same pop tripe as every other station. CJSR, you truly rock!

Great place to volunteer! They are always in need of some help. This is a truly independent radio…read morestation run by people like you and I. Anyone can work at the radio station, you can even work on getting your own show! They have equipment and support, mentors and veterans who can help you learn anything you want about radio. I want to learn how to write ads for radio, record them and edit them. I want to learn how the gear is all setup, how to record a session when an artist comes in and how to be a DJ. All of this is available to me, all DJs are volunteers and pretty passionate about being there at all hours. They contribute in many ways, and are approachable and helpful. Want to work at a radio station? Want to learn to be a DJ and eventually get your own show? It's not that far away. Why not go on to an information session, and check out their website!

An independent news and entertainment magazine, Vue Weekly is one of Edmonton's few alternative…read morenews sources. You'll find issues ranging from politics and local events, to subjects like food and dining, education, and the local arts culture. The magazine takes more of a liberal stance, as its audience consists mainly of a 20-35 age demographic. The best part about Vue is their focus on the arts scene in Edmonton. Whatever is news in film, music, or performing arts, they have it covered. Find towards the back of the magazine their weekly lists of art galas, live music performances and concerts, movie and play listings, as well as plenty of reviews on new films and shows as well. There may be no funny comics section or half-naked Sunshine Girl/Boy to wake you up in the morning, but it's still a great alternative to the mainstream print media out there. Plus, it's free and you can usually find one of their magazine dispensers around town, especially around campus.

Vue Weekly is another good news paper that focuses majorly on the local art scene or new movies and…read moremusic. What I really like about the paper is the authors. They aren't afraid to have opinions when they right their articles and it doesn't feel as if they are censoring themselves. Some other papers just display the facts without giving any real opinion on what is going on, but Vue has a backbone. It gets risky when it needs too. I still think See is a bit better when it comes to talking about local events but Vue is a great read and not bad to browse through.

I think many younger people do not think of CBC as up to date or current television, but CBC is…read moreactually a really good station to watch. CBC focuses on Canadian issues and it is quite left wing in the political area. The news is really Canadian focused and many of the shows are Canadian as well. They have some good documentary shows as well. I really like watching Marketplace because it focuses on Canadian issues and I love when things are local. I wish more people watched CBC because it really is great television.

I listen to this radio station every day !!! I absolutely love their content, including docs. I do…read morea lot of community organizing from art shows to human rights issues and when I call or try to get media coverage, they are there. Not always able to get on tv or radio but when I have it's for super dope or important things. The radio reflects the real people and what they think about so many things. As Edmonton changes so do the people and this guys are keeping up with it! It does need a little more diversity but I think they are slowly getting there. My cars station does not change from cbc and I'm planning on keeping it there :)

Rob and Audie have their morning show and are veterans in the business. They should get rid of the Morning Mindbender though. They ask a question and have people calling in with their guess. With the internet, most people can just find the answer. I also liked Shane Michaels with the afternoon show. They have the Hall of Fame weekends and will play songs from featured artists. I became bored with the repeated songs, and found a new radio station that is now my main one. I will still listen to CapFM when nothing is good on the other station I tune into. They also have a great listener club that you can accumulate points and redeem for event tickets.
