Laid-off contributors to Montreal Mirror start up online arts website CultMTL

Former staff and contributors to the weekly Montreal Mirror, shut down by its owners Quebecor Media recently, have launched an online arts and culture website called CultMTL.

"We all worked at the Montreal Mirror, either in editorial or as freelancers or both. Our aim is to serve Montreal as we used to, but with a fresh format and voice. We will deliver daily coverage of the city, from news to culture to event listings and recommendations for things to do, see and hear. Because there’s never a shortage of stuff to do, just a shortage of savvy voices to steer you to the best of it," says a note on the site.
