The Media Landscape

A citizen who wants Toronto’s actual news, in their own community, has to already know where to look — this page is that lookup. 145 independent media organizations, institutional and public-broadcaster shows, advocacy publishers, and research institutions covering Toronto and the GTA, grouped by medium and then by the community or geography each one serves.

Built from this project’s own media-landscape research. Rows about a single named individual — an independent journalist, a columnist, an academic commentator, a politician’s own channel — are a different kind of thing than an outlet, and are not shown here. This registry tracks the geography an outlet serves, not the language it publishes in; “community/geography served” below reflects that. See something wrong or missing? Tell us on the Harvest.
