It is no coincidence that the 2025 Dingbat calendar is owned and produced by BestStory.ca Inc., Canada’s only ad-free, long-form journalism corporation. The company was incorporated in 2009 by career journalist Warren Perley and two of his graphic design partners, Rodney Hall and Karen Boor.
The BestStory.ca website was launched in 2012 as a venue to provide freelance journalists with professional graphic design and experienced editing for their stories that are sold to members of the public for 40 cents each. Journalists can earn 25% of the 40 cents on each story sold.
Now Warren in his capacity as Editor of BestStory.ca has announced that he is committed to using revenue from the calendar sales to improve the payment plan for freelance journalists whose stories appear in the paid section of BestStory.ca.
You can read Warren’s thoughts on this matter in his ‘Notes From The Editor’.
