Spacing blog to rise again, covering the Ontario vote

Having had major success in generating interest in the last municipal election in Toronto, Spacing magazine is debuting its special election blog Spacing Votes to cover the forthcoming Ontario provincial election.

The blog goes live again on August 30. The emphasis will be, as it should be, on such urban issues as public space, funding and transit, and it's got a formidable lineup of contributors, including once again lead columnist John Lorinc, transit advocate Steve Munro, Spacing Editor and Eye Weekly columnist Dale Duncan and Spacing’s publisher and creative director Matthew Blackett. A new contributor is Adam Chaleff-Freudenthaler. The blog is a natural extension of the magazine, the kind of initiative (who knows how the volunteer staff finds the time) wins it new and loyal subscribers.
