What Is the National Post? Canada’s National Newspaper, Explained

Before you try to get featured in the National Post, it helps to know how the paper is built, who reads it and which desk decides what runs.

  • Launched1998, as a national daily for the whole of Canada
  • PublisherPostmedia Network, which also runs the Toronto Sun, Vancouver Sun, Ottawa Citizen, Calgary Herald and Montreal Gazette
  • BaseToronto, with reporters across the country
  • Business deskThe Financial Post, published as the paper’s business section
  • Its rivalThe Globe and Mail; together they are Canada’s two national newspapers
  • FormatsPrint, website, apps and newsletters

The national test every story has to pass

The National Post writes for readers from Vancouver to Halifax. An editor’s first question is simple: does this matter to people across Canada, or only to one city? A local opening, a single product update or a launch with no Canadian angle tends to go to a city title instead.

That is why we shape every National Post story around a Canada-wide point: jobs, investment, a policy debate, a consumer trend or a lesson Canadian business leaders can use. If a story suits a city audience better, we will suggest a Toronto Sun or Vancouver Sun feature instead.

Five Ways to Get in the National Post

There is more than one door into the paper. Each one has its own editor, its own rules and its own timeline.

01

Labelled partner feature

A story about your business, written in the paper’s style and published by the publisher with a clear label. This is the route our placement guarantee covers.

Guaranteed
02

News story

Reporters cover news with a national angle: fresh data, a first for Canada, a major hire or expansion. Editors decide what runs, so no one can promise it.

Pitched
03

Financial Post business desk

Deals, funding rounds, earnings, sector trends and market moves. Strong for fintech, energy, property and companies entering Canada.

Pitched
04

Opinion & comment (op-ed)

A signed argument from someone with real standing on the topic. The comment desk wants exclusive, timely pieces with a clear point of view.

Pitched
05

Expert source

Reporters quote founders and specialists in stories they are already writing. A sharp quote can earn a mention within days.

Pitched

Editorial coverage cannot be bought, and anyone who promises a guaranteed news story is not being straight with you. We guarantee the labelled feature, then pitch the earned routes alongside it so you get the best of both.

Before You Pitch

What a National Post Editor Wants to See, and What Gets Ignored

We check every story against this list before it goes anywhere near the paper.

A pitch-ready story has

  • A Canadian angle. Customers, staff, partners or plans in Canada, or a lesson Canadian readers can use.
  • Something new. Fresh data, a first, a clear change in direction or a result that can be checked.
  • A named spokesperson. A founder or expert who can speak on the record and answer follow-up questions.
  • Proof. Figures, case examples and sources an editor can verify quickly.
  • Good images. Sharp headshots and product or location photos ready to send.
  • Timing. A hook tied to the news cycle, a season, a report or an event.

What weakens a pitch

  • Sales language. Superlatives and slogans read as advertising and are cut first.
  • No reason for Canada. A UK or US story with no Canadian link rarely clears the national test.
  • Old news. A launch that happened months ago, or a story already covered elsewhere.
  • Claims without evidence. “Market leader” with nothing to back it up.
  • Too narrow. One product feature, one city or one niche with no wider point.
  • A pitch sent everywhere. The same email to every desk instead of one tailored idea.

Why UK Companies Use National Post Coverage to Enter Canada

Canada shares a language, a head of state and a close trade relationship with the UK, yet most Canadian buyers have never heard of a British brand on day one. A National Post feature changes that quickly.

  1. It answers the first search

    Canadian partners, investors and hires search your name before a first call. A National Post article near the top of the results gives them a trusted, local reason to say yes.

  2. It reads as Canadian, not foreign

    Coverage in a Canadian title signals that you are committed to the market, which US or UK coverage alone cannot do.

  3. It travels beyond the paper

    Postmedia stories are often shared across its city titles, and a strong piece can open doors at the Financial Post for business follow-ups.

  4. It feeds AI search

    Tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity lean on established news sites when they describe a company. A National Post article gives them an authoritative source to cite.

Choosing the Right Title

National Post, Financial Post or The Globe and Mail?

    FAQ

    Get Featured in National Post — FAQ

    Can you buy a feature in the National Post?
    News stories and opinion pieces cannot be bought; editors choose them on merit. What the publisher does offer is a clearly labelled partner feature, written in the paper’s style. That is the route we guarantee, and we pitch the editorial routes alongside it.
    Should I pitch an op-ed or a news story first?
    For most founders the op-ed is the quicker route, provided the writer has real standing on the topic. The comment desk looks for an original, timely argument that has not run elsewhere. A news story needs something new to report, which many businesses do not have every month.
    How do I submit an opinion piece to the National Post?
    Opinion pieces go to the paper’s comment editors as a finished, exclusive draft with a short note on who you are and why it matters now. We help shape the argument, edit it to the desk’s style and pitch it to the right editor.
    What if my story is mainly regional?
    If the story only matters to one city, a Postmedia city title is usually the better fit. We will tell you honestly and suggest the Ottawa Citizen, Toronto Sun or Vancouver Sun where they suit you better.
    Can an individual be featured, not just a company?
    Yes. Founders, executives, authors and specialists are featured on their expertise, journey or point of view. Personal profiles work best when they carry a lesson or insight readers can use.
    How is Canadian coverage different from US coverage?
    Canadian editors want a Canadian reason to run a story. A piece that works in the US press needs local figures, people or plans before the National Post will see it as relevant.
    Will my National Post article show up on Google?
    National Post articles are normally indexed by Google, so a feature can rank for your name and brand. It is also a trusted source for AI tools such as ChatGPT and Perplexity when they describe your business.
    Is the National Post left or right leaning?
    Its editorial and comment pages are widely described as centre-right. News reporting is kept separate from the opinion pages, and the paper publishes a wide range of business, culture and lifestyle stories.
    How do I get my story on the news?
    Find what is genuinely new, tie it to something readers care about now, back it with proof and send one tailored pitch to the right reporter. Or let United Press handle the angle, writing and outreach for you.
