Toronto Star

The Toronto Star is a Canadian English-language broadsheet daily newspaper widely regarded as the largest in Canada. Founded in 1892 as the Evening Star, it has undergone several transformations, both in name and ownership, but has consistently aimed to serve the public interest through responsible journalism. The newspaper was established by a group of striking printers and writers and quickly made its mark under the leadership of Joseph E. Atkinson, who shaped its editorial direction for nearly half a century, rendering it a voice for social change and justice.

In addition to serving the Greater Toronto Area, the Toronto Star publishes ongoing news and information online at thestar.com, which has become one of Canada’s most-visited newspaper websites. The Toronto Star has a longstanding commitment to progressive journalism, often reflecting the Atkinson Principles which promote social justice, individual rights, and community engagement. With a nationwide readership, the Toronto Star explores local, national, and international issues extensively, showcasing everything from politics and business to culture and entertainment. As the media landscape continues to evolve, the paper adapts to meet the demands of its readership while maintaining a firm commitment to its journalistic principles.
