VancouverIAM.com is the destination for people who want to know what's going on in Vancouver. It gives you the tools and support to become a video journalist, internet TV and film producer and an active commentator on local politics and everyday issues about life in Vancouver.

• VancouverIAM.com is the home for local Internet TV. Local? Either TV that’s about Vancouver or made by Vancouverites. Want to be entertained? Watch leading edge local content, go behind the scenes, get to know the producers. Are you a content producer? Create a profile, upload your webseries or short film, market yourself and your work.
• VancouverIAM aggregates the highest quality Vancouver blogs covering a wide range of local topics including Politics, the Arts Scene, Sports, Restaurants, the Canucks, Food & Wine, Outdoor Living, the Olympics, Neighborhoods, and Suburbs. Blogs written by people with expertise, knowledge and opinions that you'll find interesting and entertaining.
• Anyone can add news content to the Articles & Opinions section of VancouverIAM.com. We don’t care if you are a seasoned journalist, a newbie with an axe to grind or just at the right place at the right time.
• It's the message that matters. On VancouverIAM.com there's no ideal of what citizen journalism looks like. We know it can have many forms from a single poignant image captured on your cell to a one paragraph news piece. The focus is on your point of view.
• You don't have to create your own content to start a discussion or pick a fight. Our NewsMinr Plugin lets you grab content you find inspiring (or infuriating) on the web, add your take on it and post as an article.
• Choose the medium perfect for piece - write your story, post your webcam rant, upload images taken with your phone, add a video you created.
