About St. Johns: Your Gateway to Unbiased News

Our Story

St. Johns was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to news platform for the vibrant community of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. In an era where information is power, we recognized a growing need for a reliable, local source that provides unbiased and accurate reporting. Our journey began as a small team of passionate journalists and content creators who believed in the importance of keeping our city informed and connected.

Over the years, St. Johns has become more than just a news website; it's a community hub. We've celebrated milestones, from reaching 100,000 monthly readers to expanding our team and launching new interactive features. Our dedication to quality journalism has earned us a loyal readership and established us as a trusted name in local news.

Our Purpose and Values

At St. Johns, we strive to be the voice of St. John's, delivering news that matters most to our readers. Our core values are:

Filling the Information Gap

The internet, while a vast resource, often lacks localized, in-depth news coverage. Traditional media outlets struggle to keep up with the digital pace, leaving a gap in timely and accurate local reporting. St. Johns was created to bridge this divide, offering a dedicated platform for St. John's residents to stay informed about their city's unique stories, events, and issues.
