Why subscribe?
We know, we know. You already have 18 newsletter subscriptions cluttering up your inbox. But that’s exactly why we started this project: to do something different. To answer the questions you didn’t know you had. To fill in the gaps of all the other mainstream news you digest. Something that will supplement — get it? — the media you already engage with, because you should get to shape what your coverage looks like. Think of us as the fun, sweet multivitamins when your daily intake isn’t enough.
Each week we’ll take a question and aim to answer it in the most informative and accessible way possible. The goal is to shed light on a story that has been confusing, look at an angle that has gone unexplored, or address a topic that hasn’t gotten enough airtime. Other than those basic parameters, we want you to talk to us about just about anything you want to know at thesupplementnewsletter@gmail.com.
Driven by your questions. Expanding your awareness.
An Instagram newsletter?
And hey, if we’re all about meeting you where you’re at, why not go all out? That’s why we’re taking this newsletter to another platform, one that has proved itself a valuable learning tool over the past few months especially: Instagram.
Add fact-checked, shareable information on Canadian news to your feed and follow us @the.supplement on the gram.
