Things seem to be crumbling around the city from infrastructure to services, how can we pay for it all?
May 2, 2023


Local news in Canada is struggling to survive. But here at the Lookout, our small team is on a mission to expand our neighbourhood journalism across all of Ottawa. And itβs working.
Unlike almost every other publication in Ottawa, weβre reader-funded. That means we rely on readers like you to pay our journalists and fund the stories you read.
It means we donβt need to chase clickbait stories, but long-form, in-depth local stories you canβt find anywhere else.
To do all this, we need your help. Consider becoming a member today to fund our journalists and help us build the future of local journalism in Ottawa, one thatβs powered by locals.
Together, we can rebuild local neighbourhood news in Ottawa.
