Who decides what is newsworthy?

You do.

 

Yeah- you might think this is a pie-in-the-sky concept, but we believe that honest, no holds barred reporting is what brings forward the uncomfortable truths that make us better. The Northern Hoot doesn’t bear allegiance to any major business, political party or shareholder. The Northern Hoot is an independent journalism site and is supported by donation- and that’s a tough angle.

It is our goal to provide Northern Ontario with well researched and transparent coverage that inspires intelligent dialogue and productive change in the North. We also want to celebrate our unique culture and offer a place for writers in Northern Ontario to share their craft and passion.

We believe that everyone should be informed, not just those who can afford it, and that’s why we’re keeping our content paywall free. However, the cost of producing high-quality and original journalism is not inexpensive and that’s why we need your support.

By choosing to be a Northern Hoot builder you are supporting independent journalism and in depth coverage about not only the issues but also the solutions to creating a better Northern Ontario.

We are Northerners. It’s time that our voice is represented in the media and it’s time to start a meaningful conversation in the North. So please join us. We can do it together.
