About St. Johns: Your Digital Gateway to Local News

Our Journey

St. Johns was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to digital hub for news and information centered around St. John's, a vibrant city known for its rich history and diverse communities. We believe that every resident and visitor deserves easy access to accurate and up-to-date local news, and so we set out to bridge the information gap that existed in the digital landscape of this beautiful metropolis.

Over the years, our website has grown from a modest online publication to a trusted source for St. John's residents and those interested in our city's unique story. We've celebrated numerous milestones along the way, including breaking ground on our first year anniversary with an award-winning investigative piece on urban development. In 2019, we expanded our team and launched a dedicated opinion section, providing diverse perspectives on local issues.
