100 Mile Diet

On January 28, 2005, The Tyee published the first article on "The 100-Mile Diet: A Year of Local Eating" by James MacKinnon and Alisa Smith. The Tyee's coverage of their one-year cultural experience — only eating food grown or produced within a 100 mile radius — attracted attention from online communities and major media. The project resulted in a book deal.

Journalism fellowships

In February, 2006 the Tyee launched two charitable funds to help pay journalists and provide stories not covered in the mainstream media. The Tyee Investigative Fellowship Fund provides grants for journalists doing in-depth, investigative pieces, and the Tyee Solutions Fellowship Funds provides money for those exploring successful innovations in the areas of ecological sustainability, equality and economic vibrancy. Between December, 2005, when the fund was first announced, and February when it was launched, they raised about $36,000 dollars, about $21,000 from reader donations and $15,000 from [http://www.endswell.org/how_to_apply/endswell_tides.html Endswell Fund] at Tides Canada Foundation, who matched readers donations up until that point.
