Toronto Special

The Special is a free city life newsmagazine in Toronto, Canada, published by Midnight Media, that focuses on Canadian celebrity, politics, products and ideas, fashion and trends. It was first published in 2002.

Known for its old-school tabloid irreverence and in-your-face reporting style the publication operates under the moto of "No Fear, No Favour". Strategic targets that the Special sets its sights on include the corporate establishment, big brother government and miscarriages of justice.

The magazine runs regular investigative features such as School Time Confidential, trend stories in Fad Forecast and the award winning photocomic Screwed. The Special houses famed Toronto celebrity columnist Clammy J. Byner, ex-Navy Seal Izzy Stern, Mentalist Mysterion The Mind Reader, Cam Gordon's Off The Radar and sexpert Polly Roxxhoff. Magazine segments are regularly featured on SpecialFM in Toronto. The segments were originally hosted by DJs Mad Dug and Anthony Anderson until they were fired due to a morning radio prank gone wrong involving pizzas, George Wendt and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.

The Special key readership is with 20- to 25-year-olds living in their parents' basement.

Famous quotes containing the word special:

    Navarette, a Chinese missionary, agrees with Leibniz and says that “It is the special providence of God that the Chinese did not know what was done in Christendom; for if they did, there would be never a man among them, but would spit in our faces.”
    Matthew Tindal (1653–1733)
