Op-ed | Nunavimmiut deserve journalism made by them, for themBy Cedric GallantSpecial to Nunatsiaq NewsThere are only a handful of journalists who work in Nunavik.

But for journalism to thrive, it requires multiple outlets: videojournalism, investigative journalism, print journalism, podcasting, and documentaries. The educational infrastructure to prepare the next generation of Nunavimmiut journalists is simply not there.

When I step back and look at the full picture; return production, field position, offensive usage, and cap impact, I can’t make the case that Turpin’s contract is paying off for the Cowboys. On kick returns, the league average is 26.41 yards per return. If Turpin was compensating his average return production with real offensive value, the contract conversations would be different.
