The company behind Capital Daily

Capital Daily is part of Overstory Media.

Overstory Media builds independent, community-led local news — papers written by people who live in the places they cover. Capital Daily is its Greater Victoria flagship, and it’s in good company: a family of publications reaching communities across Canada.

Overstory Media is an independent Canadian media company with a simple idea: local news works best when it’s made by locals. Rather than run one sprawling national paper, Overstory builds a family of tightly focused community publications — each with its own voice, its own beat, and its own relationship with readers.

The company describes its work as creating and building “phenomenal community publications” that help neighbourhoods come together through storytelling and thoughtful dialogue. In practice that means small, local teams — backed by shared tools, standards, and support — publishing like a much bigger newsroom, from Victoria and Vancouver to Calgary and Halifax.

You can see the whole group, and how it’s built, at overstorymedia.com.
