The Sprawl
The Sprawl is Calgary pop-up journalism. We launched in September 2017 to cover our city’s municipal election. It began as a zany experiment, a creative way to keep local journalism alive in tough times. And hey, it worked! A swell of community support has turned our tiny shop into a going concern. We’re 100% crowdfunded via Patreon. The Sprawl is all about Calgary stories for Calgarians. It’s designed to be set up and taken down and set up again to cover specific things. The pop-up nature of the venture — and your support — makes it doable.
