Inside the TrueNorth Newsroom

We are a collective of journalists, editors, and storytellers committed to factual reporting and the Canadian public interest.

Our Story

TrueNorth News was founded in 2012 with a mission to elevate regional stories to national prominence. From the Arctic Circle to downtown Montreal, we provide context-rich journalism that reflects the diversity and resilience of Canada.

Headquartered in Toronto with bureaus in Vancouver, Halifax, Calgary, and Montreal, our newsroom collaborates with independent contributors and Indigenous storytellers to ensure nuanced coverage and balanced perspectives.

Our Principles

Accuracy First

Every story we publish passes through rigorous fact-checking and editorial review.

Regional Voice

We amplify stories from local communities to ensure the national dialogue reflects every province and territory.

Transparency

Our funding model and editorial guidelines are open to readers—because trust must be earned.

Diversity

We invest in journalism fellowships for underrepresented voices across Canada.
