People like to read on paper! It’s available any time and easy on the eyes.
The printed biweekly Island Social Trends newspaper is available free in community spaces.
The online daily news portal at IslandSocialTrends.ca continues with vigor, but the print edition helps folks keep up with the news trends in their busy lives.
So far, the print edition is available free in the west shore region of Greater Victoria, including Langford, Colwood, View Royal, and Sooke. More locations to come.
You can find the 4-page 11×17 Island Social Trends in coffee shops, rec centers, library lobbies and some retail stores.
Professional journalism:
Island Social Trends journalism is informative reading about community, business, politics and stuff that affects the lives of people on South Vancouver Island.
Unlike other quick-read products in coffee shops, Island Social Trends (IST) is professional journalism. It’s available free as part of the IST mission statement of supporting a knowledge-based economy and society.
Where business, government or politics affect your life our print pages provide a précis every two weeks. The online daily posts at IslandSocialTrends.ca are more in-depth and include links and additional photos.
Printed copies of Island Social Trends are permanently archived at the Sooke Region Museum (following in the footsteps of our previous publications MapleLine Magazine 2008-2010, Sooke Voice News 2011-2013, and West Shore Voice News 2014-2020).
