I’m Jen Hassum, and as the publisher of PressProgress, I wanted to welcome you personally because it’s so important that you’re here. I know what you’re thinking,
I just signed up for emails… Hold on, trust me, let me tell you why this is a huge step for us:
Our journalists are on the ground across Canada, digging deep into issues that—once uncovered—can have real world impact. But, this is only because of our relationship with readers like you. I’m not exaggerating.
For example, when we report on unfair and unsafe workplaces, specifically how Tim Hortons’ workers were forced to get
doctor’s notes to take unpaid sick leave, this influenced Premier Doug Ford to temporarily ban doctor’s notes and introduce a $40-million fund for sick workers. However, this happened only after our reporting sparked readers to start a #BoycottTimHortons hashtag on Twitter, getting the larger public involved in this crucial conversation.
We do the reporting, but you create the impact.
This is why it’s so important for us that we’re now connected, especially in an internet age where our attention spans have been reduced to mere seconds. We promise to not spam you and to always deliver valuable information.
This is also why we want to know what news topics you are curious about so that our emails are tailored to your region and your interests.
