Sponsorship

Taproot Edmonton serves the people of the Edmonton metropolitan region. Journalism is part of the connective tissue that helps to bind a community together and we launched in 2016 to ensure it would continue to play that important role in Edmonton well into the future.

Our work is available for everyone to read for free because we believe for journalism to do its job it needs to be widely accessible. The high-quality work we publish is not free to produce, however.

Sponsors and advertisers help us pay our staff and freelancers to do this important work for our community. In return, we offer brand awareness with a growing and engaged local audience.
