Radio Canada International’s Eye on the Arctic is the product of longtime cooperation between circumpolar media organizations Alaska Dispatch, Alaska Public Radio, Radio Sweden, YLE News, Radio Canada International and a list of highly respected Arctic bloggers.

“Now, we look forward to restarting a great collaboration with the Independent Barents Observer team,” says Eilís Quinn, journalist and manager of Eye on the Arctic circumpolar news project.

“It is a great honor for us to team up with some of the most respected Arctic media houses,” says Thomas Nilsen, editor of the Independent Barents Observer.

“We are a small journalist owned news site, but our eyes on the Barents Region and our part of the Arctic are well noticed in the circumpolar media society,” he says.

With the partnership, articles and photos from the Independent Barents Observer can be re-published among the other partners, and articles on Arctic issues written by journalists in Canada, Alaska, Sweden and Finland can be re-published at this portal.

The Eye on the Arctic news site itself is frequently updated with various news- and blogs by the partners.
