award-winning journalist Shelley Page explores the publication’s rich history, from its early days with a used printing press delivered by stagecoach from New York City, to its evolution into Broadview. Through its various incarnations (The Christian Guardian, The New Outlook, The United Church Observer), Broadview has remained a steadfast voice for faith in public life. Originally a Methodist newspaper in pre-Confederation Canada, Broadview has grown into a proudly independent, multi-platform media organization, delivering insightful journalism through print, digital, podcasting and an online reading community. Covering topics such as climate justice, Indigenous reconciliation, 2SLGBTQ+ rights, and the intersection of spirituality and science, Broadview continues to shape both Canadian public policy and its readers’ spiritual and ethical lives.
