The Local News Map Tell us what's happening to local news in your community
The Local News Map is a crowd-sourced resource that tracks what is happening to local newspapers, broadcast outlets and online/digital news sources in places across Canada. It displays changes to service at local news outlets, including information on the launch/closing of local news organizations along with service increases/reductions going back to 2008. Every two months, a new report summarizing events and the raw data is published here.
