About The Catch

Originally started in November 2022 on Substack, The Catch is a newsletter that covers the Canadian news media from an abashedly anti-capitalist framework. It's run by me, Scott Martin. I'm an independent journalist with a bachelor's in journalism from Toronto Metropolitan University. I've written for the Toronto Star, Ricochet, The Maple, rabble, The Green Line, Canadian Dimension and, yes, even The Beaverton.

Every week, The Catch publishes analysis on phenomena in the Canadian news industry, as well as a weekly round-up of important news stories that you may have missed. Whether you're overwhelmed by the sheer volume of news stories, sick of legacy framing, or frustrated from Meta banning news in Canada, The Catch has you covered.
