Print is dead? Nope. Not in Calgary.

After publishing for a year and a half as a digital journalism startup, The Sprawl has made its first foray into newsprint. And now we'd like to put the paper into your hands.

This limited-run newspaper is the culmination of our pop up newsroom at the Central Library, where we asked Calgarians: what do you want for your city over the next 25 years?

Calgarians posted their answers in droves. Meanwhile, we brought together a diverse group of local journalists to dig into some of the possibilities. This project was a true community effort.

Here's what you'll find inside the paper:

PLUS!

This is truly a newspaper like no other: there are no ads. That's because The Sprawl is directly crowdfunded by members—Calgarians like you—instead of being stuck trying to sell to advertisers.

We're member-driven, not ad-driven.

All of our members get a copy of the newspaper. We'd love to have you on board and send you one, too! If you like what you see, sign up as a Sprawler.

Most members kick in just $5 to $10 a month—more or less the price of a coffee or lunch.

Take a look at what people are saying:

When you become a Sprawler, you're not just supporting local journalism. You're joining a community of people who care deeply about Calgary and its future.

We'd love to have you on board—you can sign up here!

Thanks for considering it.
