Guided by the theme of communication ethics we are curious to understand what tactics media outlets are using to appeal to audiences when reporting on the Trans Mountain Pipeline.
From B.C. to Ontario, this Canadian-based Community of Practice is sharing our lived experience as professional communications students with a passion for the natural environment.
We are united in our journey across Canadian time zones creating a space for learning, innovation, insights, discussions on an open space that documents our journey and curates data.
Current and future memberships will benefit by diving into the narrative, ethical dilemmas and framing when telling the story the Trans Mountain Pipeline.

Mapping knowledge and identifying gaps
"CoPs have existed for as long as people have been learning and sharing their experiences through storytelling."(Agrifoglio, R. 2015)
Sustained mutual relationships—harmonious or conflictual
Shared ways of engaging in doing things together -
The rapid flow of information and propagation of innovation
Absence of introductory preambles, as if conversations and interactions were merely the continuation of an ongoing process
Very quick setup of a problem to be discussed
Substantial overlap in participants’ descriptions of who belongs
Knowing what others know, what they can do, and how they can contribute to an enterprise
Mutually defining identities -
The ability to assess the appropriateness of actions and products
Specific tools, representations, and other artefacts
Local lore, shared stories, inside jokes, knowing laughter
Jargon and shortcuts to communication as well as the ease of producing new ones
Certain styles recognized as displaying membership
A shared discourse reflecting a certain perspective on the world
