How we report at PressRush
An independent digital newsroom in Gastown, Vancouver — chasing stories, checking facts, and publishing in the public interest.
Who we are
PressRush Media Inc. is an independent digital news publication serving Canadian readers from 155 Water Street, Suite 110, Vancouver. We publish original reporting, features, analysis, and opinion across Business, Technology, Environment, Culture, Science, Transport, and Canada news — with a newsroom culture built around originating work rather than recycled wire copy.
Our name reflects journalism, not marketing: "Press" means the news press — reporters, editors, correspondents — not a PR wire or press-release distribution service. "Rush" means the urgency of breaking news chased responsibly, not an energy drink, courier service, or get-rich brand. The .life domain is branding only; PressRush is not a lifestyle or wellness publication.
What we cover
We focus on stories that matter to British Columbia and Canada: housing and municipal policy, technology and privacy, coastal environment, regional business and trade, arts and culture, public-health science, and transport including ferries and ports. Every story earns its place through editorial judgement — we do not publish clickbait, rumour, or paid-for news articles.
Editorial values
- Accuracy: We verify claims with primary sources, documents, and attributable interviews.
- Fairness: We seek response from subjects of critical coverage and present context.
- Independence: Advertising and membership revenue do not steer newsroom assignments.
- Clear labelling: News, analysis, opinion, and sponsored content are distinguished.
- Corrections: Significant errors are corrected promptly with a visible notice.
- Source protection: We protect confidential tipsters where appropriate and lawful.
How we are funded
PressRush earns revenue from clearly labelled advertising and optional reader membership. Sponsored content, if published, is marked as such and does not influence independent reporting. We do not sell favourable coverage. We do not operate as a marketing agency.
