About Toronto Times
Toronto's independent source for local news, culture, and community.
Who We Are
Toronto Times is an independent digital news publication dedicated to covering Toronto — the stories that matter to the people who live, work, and play here. From city hall to the arts scene, from neighbourhood developments to local business, we cover it all.
We launched because we believe Toronto deserves journalism that's fast, accurate, and written by people who actually care about this city. We're not owned by a media conglomerate. We answer to our readers.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: keep Toronto residents informed. We do that by breaking local news quickly, telling the stories that other outlets miss, and writing in a way that respects our readers' time and intelligence.
We believe local journalism matters. A well-informed community makes better decisions — at the ballot box, in business, and in everyday life.
What We Cover
- City News — municipal politics, transit, development, and public policy
- Arts & Culture — local film, music, theatre, galleries, and events
- Food & Drink — restaurant openings, closings, and the best eats in Toronto
- Real Estate — the housing market, new developments, and neighbourhood guides
- Community — the people, organizations, and movements shaping Toronto
Our Team
Our editorial team is made up of journalists, photographers, and editors who call Toronto home. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of accuracy, fairness, and transparency. When we make mistakes, we correct them — openly and promptly.
Editorial Independence
Toronto Times maintains a strict separation between editorial and advertising. Our journalism is never influenced by sponsors or advertisers. Our coverage decisions are made solely by our editors based on newsworthiness and reader interest.
