About

Founded by a gang of school activists in 1966, and originally called This Magazine is About Schools, This Magazine is one of Canada’s oldest alternative journals. Fiercely independent and proudly subversive, the modern-day This acts as a critical, gutsy voice in today’s media landscape, dedicated to exposing under-the-radar stories and to publishing smart, progressive commentary and reporting on Canadian politics, pop culture, social issues, and the arts. Throughout the decades, This Magazine has stuck to its radical roots—never wavering in our editorial commitment to fearless, rabble-rousing journalism. As Sarah Polley once said, “This never ceases to make me think, question things and get angry.”

Important: Query first for nonfiction.
