Toronto Talks
Speaking of cities, Toronto Talks marked our first international expansion of our local format. The event, which took place on October 18, was organized by The Green Line, a news startup serving Torontonians.
This event was part of The Green Line’s truly innovative reporting format, which combines investigation and traditional journalism with community-centered learning and events. Toronto Talks was part of their elections series, which covered the October municipal elections around Canada. Alongside the one-on-one debates, participants of the event also got the chance to speak directly with candidates running for office, and were asked to contribute ideas for how to increase youth voter turnout.
We encourage you to read the full piece on their website - it is a great example of constructive local journalism.
