The Logic is a subscription-based Canadian news outlet focused on the "innovation economy," which has been compared to The Information.[1]

History

[edit]

The website was founded in June 2018 by David Skok, who was previously associate editor for Toronto Star, managing editor and vice-president of digital for the Boston Globe, and director of digital for Global News.

When the website was first launched, Moira Weigel, co-founder and editor of Logic, an American technology magazine launched in March 2017, took issue with the similarity of the names.[2]

Activities

[edit]

The Logic has reported extensively on business in Canada, most notably reporting on Sidewalk Labs and their Waterfront Toronto project.[3] Their reporting is paywalled, and requires a subscription starting at $300. In May 2019, Postmedia acquired a minor stake in The Logic, and began to republish stories on the Financial Post's website and newspaper, along with advertising the news outlets subscriptions.[4]
