The Halifax Examiner investigates: Northern Pulp
Joan Baxter literally wrote the book on Northern Pulp Mill — it’s called The Mill: Fifty Years of Pulp and Protest. So it is Baxter who is both the originator and the go-to person for the Halifax Examiner’s reporting on all things Northern Pulp and on the broader forestry issues related to it.
The Examiner has closely followed the mill itself, the forestry industry, the effects of the mill on Boat Harbour and the Pictou Landing First Nation, the potential poisoning of fishing grounds, and more.
Then, Baxter was one of the reporters who worked as part of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists on the Deforestation Inc project, which looked at the murky ownership and problematic forestry practices of Paper Excellence, the owner of Northern Pulp.
Since then, Baxter and the Examiner have reported on Northern Pulp as it worked its way through the creditor protector process, and most recently, the settlement agreement between the company and the province of Nova Scotia.
This page collects all that reporting in one place. |Read more|
