The Special is a free city life news-magazine in Toronto, Canada, published by Midnight Media, that focuses on Canadian celebrity, politics, products and ideas, fashion and trends. It was first published in 2002.

Known for its old-school tabloid irreverence and in-your-face reporting style the publication operates under the moto of "no fear, no favour." Strategic targets that the Special sets its sights on include the corporate establishment, big brother government and miscarriages of justice.

The magazine runs regular investigative features such as School Time Confidential, trend stories in Fad Forecast and the award winning photocomic Screwed. The Special houses famed Toronto celebrity columnist Clammy J. Byner, ex-Navy Seal Izzy Stern, Mentalist Mysterion The Mind Reader, Cam Gordon's Off The Radar and sexpert Polly Roxxhoff.

The Special boasts that it has the highest readership with the 23-26 year old females living and working in downtown urban centres.
