What’s it all about?

Dooneyscafe.com is a state of mind rooted in several things: a community centred around a café on Toronto’s Bloor Street, dissatisfaction with conventional news gathering, analysis and dissemination, and a desire to provide authors with the space and freedom to explore issues in greater depth and detail than the mainstream media allows.

Dooneyscafe.com offers open space to a limited number of writers who dislike the current supervisors of culture and the types and degrees of supervision.

Dooneyscafe.com has no editorial policy other than that implicit in the selection of writers who are offered free access and a belief that conventional media isn’t offering much insight into our collective or individual conditions.

The views expressed by the writers are morally, legally, and wherever our editorial attentions have failed, grammatically their own. They do not reflect the view of the owners/operators of either Dooney’s Cafe (land version) or dooneyscafe.com, nor will they be either endorsed, rejected, or given free coffee by any of the principals involved. They are offered in their multiplicity as exercises in free and clear speech, which together are the foundation of competent civil democracy. Of course, all resemblance to real persons, living, dead or in cryogenic states are purely coincidental.

Newspapers, magazines or television sources are welcome to buy articles they find in dooneyscafe.com at their standard freelance or news service rates, whichever is higher.
