At Narcity, we’re building the future of local media, and we want you to be a part of our Global Neighbourhood. Narcity Media is a digital-only media publication that owns and operates Narcity.com and MTLBlog.com . Our staff and network of world-class creators interact with millions of Millennials and Gen Zs monthly through our websites, social channels, mobile apps, syndication partners and email subscriptions.

Our audience is interested in the national, the local and the hyper-local — simultaneously. That is why our teams of writers, editors and content creators keep our audience informed on everything from breaking news and trending content to the best travel spots to add to your bucket list and restaurants to eat at. Readers may come to Narcity to find out where to go for dinner, but they’ll leave with information on the biggest stories of the day to talk about over their meal.
