[LINK] Torontoist's now with the Globe and Mail

[rfmcdonald]

Torontoist, one of my favourite group blogs and threatened with extinction at the end of last year, has now entered into a promising partnership with The Globe and Mail, perhaps my favourite newspaper.

As of Friday night, the Globe now has a brand new Toronto section on their website, and as of Friday night, that hub will regularly and prominently feature selected Torontoist content, part of a content-sharing partnership between the two media organizations.

In her announcement of the new hub on the Globe's site, Toronto Editor Kelly Grant called Torontoist "the city's best comprehensive blog" and said that we'll bring her paper's readers "intensely local tales from every corner of Toronto, along with listings of events you won't want to miss"; in a separate statement, she added that the Globe is "delighted to be working with Torontoist." The feeling's mutual! The partnership is something that we've all been working towards for a long while now, and something we couldn't be more excited about.

I am so happy with this.
