Mothership.sg is an online news website that operates in Singapore. It was founded in August 2013 and officially launched in February 2014.

History 
Mothership.sg begun with Lien We King, a finance executive, proposing an online platform for young Singaporeans to Martino Tan, a social media manager for Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in 2012. Together with Belmont Lay, a co-founder of New Nation, a Singapore online satirical news website, the trio experimented with producing content for the website, with inspirations from the style of BuzzFeed publication. Their first article in August 2013, 48 reasons why you still feel for Singapore, crashed their servers for two hours after being shared widely. 

In February 2014, the website was officially launched. It was initially funded by social enterprise, Project Fisher-Man, which is headed by civil servant veteran, Philip Yeo. Former foreign minister of Singapore, George Yeo, was its advisor as well. On 2 April 2014, the website registered for a class license issued under the Broadcasting Act. After the Media Development Authority had introduced a new framework for websites with local news content in 2013, the website sought MDA for advice if it should be licensed under the framework as well. In 2015, the website was told by MDA that it met the threshold that requires the website to be registered. As part of the requirements, the website had to put up a  bond.

In 2016, Mothership.sg website was registered as Bridgewater Holdings Pte Ltd. This was done to change its funding structure from being supported by a social enterprise to a fully commercial media business. It was determined that without commercialising the website and depended on funding from Project Fisher-Man, the website would potentially have run out of funding by the end of 2015.

In 2021, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism issued a Digital News Report in which indicated that Mothership was used by 42% of Singapore's population. On 18 February 2022, the site made a mistake and published an infographic on the Goods and Services Tax hike ahead of an embargo of the news. As a result, the site had its press accreditation suspended for six months after an appeal was submitted to the Ministry of Communications and Information, thus losing access to press conferences and media briefings held by government agencies.

In a study published in the Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2023, Mothership emerged as the most used online news source, surpassing mainstream competitors Channel News Asia and The Straits Times.

Line Hamel is a politician in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She served on the Montreal city council from 2001 to 2009.

Education
Hamel has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM).

City councillor
Hamel first ran for city council in the 1998 municipal election as Vision Montreal's candidate for Saint-Pierre. She lost to longtime incumbent Germain Prégent of New Montreal.

Hamel ran again in the 2001 municipal election and was elected for the Louis-Cyr division. She was re-elected in the 2005 election in the renamed division of Saint-Henri–La Petite-Bourgogne–Pointe-Saint-Charles. Both elections were won by Gérald Tremblay's Montreal Island Citizens Union (MICU), and Hamel served as a member of the opposition. By virtue of serving on city council, Hamel was also a member of the Sud-Ouest borough council; in 2007, she supported a measure to permit bars and restaurants on Monk Street to construct frontal terraces.

In September 2007, Hamel's father, Michel Hamel, was charged with three counts of fraud pertaining to accusations that he had taken money from a local developer in return for seeking to obtain a zoning change. Line Hamel, who described herself as "in shock" at the charges, agreed to stand down from Vision Montreal's caucus and sit as an independent while the matter was before the courts.

Although she resigned from the Vision Montreal caucus in 2007, Hamel did not initially resign from the party itself; she took part in the launch of Vision Montreal's position paper on transit in June 2009. She was not permitted to run under Vision's banner in the 2009 municipal election, however, and instead ran for borough mayor of Le Sud-Ouest as an independent. She lost to Benoit Dorais, Vision's official candidate.

In January 2010, Michel Hamel pleaded guilty to fraud. A Montreal Gazette article reporting on the trial indicates that Line Hamel chaired a local urban planning advisory committee at the time of her father's illegal activity. Line Hamel was not herself accused of any improper activity.
