Red Canary Magazine

Red Canary Magazine is an independent publication edited by award-winning journalist and writer Joe Donnelly. We publish deeply reported journalism focusing on urgent environmental, sustainability and social justice issues. Our mission is to produce difference-making work that provokes discussion, inspires reflection and speaks to the times with compelling storytelling that is timeless. Responding to the dearth of compelling storytelling addressing the existential environmental and societal challenges of our times, we launched Red Canary Magazine to produce work of the highest journalistic standards that doesn’t take shortcuts with our practice or our readership. We do this because we believe that informative reporting paired with impactful storytelling has the power to effect positive changes in our lives and our futures. Our journalism is guided by an obligation to the truth, a loyalty to citizens, and a disciplined verification of our reporting. We believe in journalism’s social and civic responsibility in a democracy and the need to pursue it without fear or favor.
