About us
The Discourse is an independent journalism company dedicated to in-depth reporting on complex issues facing Canada and the world. We are building a home for new approaches to storytelling that look beyond conflict-driven daily news cycles. We tell stories Canadians need in ways they can trust. We produce investigations, analysis and data journalism focused on matters of public importance: gender, environment, sustainable development, child welfare, politics, Indigenous issues and more. We look for gaps in reporting and pursue stories that have potential for impact. The Discourse is dedicated to trustworthy stories and constructive conversation about issues that matter. Our members make it possible. Members contribute monthly support, feedback on what we cover, and their knowledge and lived experiences. We publish on our own digital platform and broaden our reach through media partners. The Discourse collaborates with other journalists through fellowships and multi-newsroom projects. We also offer editorial products to organizations tackling society’s greatest challenges.
