David Wightman

Independent journalist and community activist, David Julian Wightman, was born in Zambia and raised in the Ottawa valley. His first byline appeared in the Ottawa Citizen in 1993 when he was 16-years-old, and ten years later he graduated from so-called-Ryerson University’s School of Journalism with a specialty in magazine writing. He dedicates this exposé to his fellow workers in scrubs, and to his personal heroes, Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning, and Edward Snowden.

The Leveller is an ambitious little rag. It wants to be simultaneously irreverent and important, to demand responsibility from others while it shakes it off itself, to be a fun-house mirror we can laugh at ourselves in and a map we can use to find ourselves and our city in. It wants to be your coolest, most in-the-know friend and your social conscience at the same time. It has its work cut out for it. The Leveller is published every month or so. It is free if you can find it, but you're looking at this on a screen, so you've found the next best thing. The Leveller and its editors have no phone or office, but can be contacted with letters of love or hate at editors.the.leveller@gmail.com
