Village Media continues to expand its network of media outlets across Ontario with the launch of independent news site MidlandToday.ca.
Launched this morning, MidlandToday.ca will bring locally-driven news in real-time to Midland and area, including Penetanguishene and Tiny and Tay Townships.
Heading up the news team is Community Editor Andrew Philips, an award-winning journalist whose writing has appeared in some of the country’s most respected news outlets. He is joined in his hometown by Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Mehreen Shahid, a skilled writer, thorough journalist and well-known face in Simcoe County whose mission it will be to cover town councils and other civic matters.
MidlandToday will be served by Account Executive Stuart Snelgrove, under the leadership of Director of Advertising/Regional Publisher John Hammill.
Designed to be fast and easy to use whether you're on mobile, desktop or tablet, the site will provide breaking news, feature stories, obituaries, and other content from the region. The most current local news will be posted throughout the day, with national news provided by The Canadian Press.
MidlandToday is part of the Village Media network, which operates some of the largest online news sites in the communities it serves. The sites are driven by news and information that appeals to a highly engaged, loyal audience.
“We believe that locally-driven news is essential to communities. That’s why we’ve started or helped launch more than 30 digital news sites in communities just like Midland within the past few years,” said Jeff Elgie, CEO of Village Media. “We are proud to be extremely community-minded and cover important stories in your town. We have a great team in place and look forward to becoming an integrated part of the community’s daily news.”
