Sharing Toronto Magazine

Sharing Toronto magazine logoA popular urban lifestyle magazine, Sharing Toronto is a news site that focuses on telling the stories most relevant to the people of Toronto.  Their journalism hopes to create an active and informed online community. The founders of the magazine have a great attitude-  unlike other Toronto based organs of the press, which try desperately to keep fresh content posted as they encourage a mythical ‘daily reader’, the writers here are content to post infrequently as they believe that lifestyle magazines mature gracefully, and the media they publish today will get more important over time.

The magazine continues to grow by writing informative content that does well in search engines. When the authors here write about people, places and events they put the most interesting ‘hook’ first and then ‘share’ information about all aspects of the activity or venue afterwards. So a random sighting of a hawk eating a sparrow becomes a well researched account of the life cycle and diet of inner city birds-of-prey.

Sharing Toronto magazine has a lot of informative articles including such classics as Guide to the Six Coupon Rides at CNE which shows all the roller coasters that require six tickets (which is the maximum). And stories about climbing construction cranes for Instagram fame and about rigging out a car with cameras to troll RIDE programs and drive through the new marijuana driver testing spot checks set up to test the civil liberties of all Canadians.

The magazine profiles people and gets into places that readers wouldn’t normally see ; it covers stories that are not likely to be detailed in more mainstream press.
