The Canary was founded in 2015 by a group of independent journalists and activists who were dedicated to providing a progressive, alternative news source that would challenge the mainstream media narrative. The idea behind The Canary was to create a platform that would give voice to underrepresented perspectives and shine a light on issues of social and economic justice. Today, The Canary continues to operate as an independent, employee-owned media cooperative. The Canary covers a wide range of news and topics, with a particular focus on politics, social issues, and environmental concerns. While the publication does not extensively report on sports or entertainment news, it provides in-depth analysis and commentary on the pressing challenges facing society, both in the United Kingdom, where The Canary is based, and on a global scale. The Canary's team of journalists and contributors work to offer a unique and thought-provoking take on current events. One interesting fact: Unlike many traditional news outlets that are beholden to corporate interests or the need to generate advertising revenue, The Canary operates as an independent, employee-owned cooperative, which allows it to maintain its editorial independence and commitment to its progressive mission.
