On the last day of 2020, Canada’s National Observer is reflecting on five years of independent journalism and looking ahead to new reporting and investigations in 2021.
For Linda Solomon Wood, our editor-in-chief and CEO, it’s been a long but worthwhile journey. In a sweeping year-end piece, she shares why she started National Observer, what to expect from us in the new year and how independent journalism is vital to preserving democracy and holding the powerful to account.
“It’s more than just finding a big exclusive or uncovering a scandal or reporting on the latest weather,” she writes. “Especially in these isolating times, a newspaper is like a lighthouse showing the way forward, the dangers ahead as well as solutions.”
As governments, organizations and individuals around the world aim to build a sustainable post-pandemic future, information plays a crucial role in navigating the challenges ahead.
Canada’s National Observer strives to bring you independent, reader-funded investigative journalism and reporting that offers insights into human rights, politics, climate change, environmental conservation and more.
In the coming year, you can count on National Observer reporters in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver to provide you with breaking news and in-depth reporting and analysis. And in 2021, National Observer is committing to expanding our reporting to track the best ideas in Canada for tackling climate change.
