What we’re looking for

At Pulse, we value the diverse voices and perspectives of Toronto’s vibrant Downtown East community, so we invite you to submit your stories, articles, photographs, artwork, and more! Check out the details below.

Content We Want

Here is just some of what we’re looking for:


Community Events

If you’re part of a community organization, feel free to share information about upcoming events, fundraisers, and gatherings in the area. You can learn more about our relationships with community organizations here.

Personal Essays

We believe everybody has a story to tell, so we welcome pieces reflecting on personal experiences, observations, or insights relevant to life in the neighbourhood. Not a writer? No problem. We’d still love to hear from you.

Local News

Put your journalist hat on, and report on local news stories, developments, and issues affecting the community. Whether you’re a seasoned reporter or just stumbled across a major story, reach out to us.

How to Submit

Have something you’d like to see in Pulse? Submitting content is easy! Here’s how you can share your content with us:

1. Prepare Your Submission

The first step is probably the most obvious: Create your content. It could be an article, story, photograph, artwork, or even something else. Be sure to check our submission guidelines here to ensure your piece will work for us.

2. Send Us Your Content

Email your submission to info@pulsenews.ca. Be sure to include your name, contact information, and any relevant details about your submission.

Submission Guidelines:

Please take a look at our guidelines before submitting your content:

  •  Format: Submissions should be in digital format (Word document, PDF, JPEG, PNG, etc.).
  •  Length: Articles and stories should be between 300-1000 words. Longer submissions may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
  •  Attribution: If your submission includes photographs, artwork, or other media, please provide proper attribution and permissions for use.
  •  Originality: Submissions should be original works created by you. Plagiarism or unauthorized use of copyrighted material will not be accepted.
  •  Editing: Our editorial team may make minor edits for clarity, grammar, and style. Significant changes will be discussed with you before publication.

3. Review Process

Our editorial team will review all submissions and may reach out to you for additional information or clarification. As we are a small team, please be patient and allow some time for a response.

4. Publication

If your submission is selected for publication, we will notify you of when you’ll see your piece in our print publication and/or our website. Please let us know if you’d would like us to provide you with a link to the published content.
