It's not always easy to get the story behind the story.

Journalism is about the Five W's that report the facts but to Sheldon, context is key.

It's not just how, but how come. In this show, he talks to the people behind the headlines to find out why we should care.

And in the digital age, nothing tells a story better than the voice of the person involved, or the people who can look at it critically and speak about it.

We hope to tell the stories that can help us understand not just why something happened, but why it matters.Copyright SaltWire Política y Gobierno

Police said a group of friend were playing at the park when the flash flooding occurred. The park, behind Acadia University’s Crowell Tower, includes play equipment, a soccer pitch and a skate park.

  • The Greek Assassin's last stand in MMA

    The Greek Assassin's last stand in MMA
    Jun 5 2024
    Chris Kelades is 99.99 percent it will be his last professional fight. The 43-year old holds a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and will be entering the ring one last time this coming Saturday night in Dartmouth. For the last few years, the Greek Assassin (as he’s known) has been working as a commentator for Fight League Atlantic — a mixed martial arts promotional league based in Halifax. Ten years ago, Kelades was a last-minute call up for the card at an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event in Halifax. A fight he won in a unanimous decision. And the last time he fought in Nova Scotia. He also spent time fighting overseas in the M-1 Global before the pandemic put a halt to his fighting career. With a professional record of 15 wins and four losses, Kelades will be taking on PEI’s Morgan Rhynes in the main event at Zatzman Sports Complex in Dartmouth. This will be his first fight since 2019. Recently, he took time out of his training to speak with SaltWire’s Sheldon MacLeod.
