What PRINT is.
An independent Canadian quarterly. Four sections. No advertisers. No investors. No institutional affiliation. The magazine exists because some stories need paper, time, and a mailing address.
The mission
PRINT Canada covers the stories that fall between the news cycle: the court file opened six months ago and not reported since, the regulatory complaint that was acknowledged and then ignored, the institution that performed a function it was not authorized to perform and has not been asked to explain it.
We publish four times a year. Each issue is stitched and mailed. The website carries the current issue and the archive. The website is a courtesy. The magazine is the record.
We accept no advertising. We take no government grants, foundation funding, or sponsored content. The magazine is funded entirely by subscriptions and reader support. Every editorial decision is made by the editorial board without commercial input of any kind.
The four sections
Citizens. News that pertains to everyone. Healthcare, housing, banks, courts, the road, the curb, the chair in the clinic, the line on the dispatch tape. If it happened to a person because of an institution, it belongs here.
Art. What artists in this country are making and why it matters. Not reviews. Not coverage of openings. The work, examined on its own terms, with enough time to understand it.
Feature. One person, told slowly. One issue, one subject. The feature goes as long as it needs to and not one word longer.
The Cover. One photograph. One word. The country is large and we have one cover. We choose what the country looks like on that day and we print it large.

Corrections policy
PRINT issues corrections prominently and without delay. If a factual error appears in a published piece, we correct it in the next available print edition and immediately on the website. Corrections are marked with the date of correction and a plain description of what was wrong. We do not remove errors from the archive; we annotate them.
To report an error: editors@printmag.org with the article URL or issue date, the specific error, and your contact information. We acknowledge receipt within three business days.
Editorial independence
PRINT has no parent company, no controlling shareholder, and no institutional affiliation with any political party, government body, law firm, advocacy organization, or religious institution. No funder, subscriber, or advertiser has editorial input of any kind. Sources involved in active litigation are never paid for their participation.
Journalists at PRINT are required to disclose any personal or financial relationship with subjects they cover. The editorial board makes final decisions on disclosure in all cases.
