We put a human face on the news by showcasing vivid, first person stories from individuals involved in current events or living extraordinary lives. Whether it is politics, sports, entertainment, science, love or war, we are capturing news and stories in their rawest form. We are a celebration of every person's right to be heard in their own words.

Halifax Citizen features both famous and ordinary people and uses the power of the Internet to make readers part of every story. They join discussions, share their own stories and take sides on issues through online polls and by commenting at the end of stories.

Our Team
We are journalists, designers and news junkies who want more from the media than headlines and sound bites. We think today's news machine doesn't do justice to the issues or the people involved in them. And we love a good story. That's why we've built a home for true stories from real citizens.
