From @_llebrun, Editor of @pressprogress:

“PressProgress was launched in 2013 to challenge bad information and fill gaps in coverage ignored by Canada’s bigger corporate media outlets. We think it’s important to lead by example and be good actors in a healthy media ecosystem.”

Last year, @pressprogress won multiple awards for our investigative journalism during the pandemic.

We also launched a paid labour reporting internship for students at journalism schools and participated in industry efforts to address online harassment.
