Yonge Street casting its net wider, out into York Region

Yonge Street, the weekly online magazine, is looking to expand its coverage outside the city of Toronto and into York Region. It's looking for journalists to write about things in Richmond Hill, Newmarket, Markham, Stouffville, Aurora, and Georgina. Managing editor Paul Gallant told the Toronto Freelance Editors and Writers list (TFEW)

"We're interested in stories about R&D, entrepreneurship, startups, social innovation, not-for-profit endeavours and public-private partnerships (particularly those aimed at inclusivity, diversity, community building, sustainability, conservation and environmentalism), interesting real estate developments and the like. Although the quantity of stuff we're looking for out of York Region is yet to be determined, this could be a regular freelance gig for the right person/people. I'm primarily looking for writers who can pitch story ideas, but if you can take photos, we are indeed going to need someone to shoot York Region features. Yes, we pay."

Yonge Street, which was launched in January 2010, is published by the Issue Media Group
