About Us

Independent and Calgary-focused

Founded in 2025, Calgary News Live is an independent publication with a mission to provide timely, accurate, useful and accessible news for Calgary residents, communities and businesses. Calgary is our primary focus, including provincial, federal and regional developments when they have a direct impact on the city.

Founder and editor

Sam is the founder and editor of Calgary News Live. Sam oversees editorial standards, story selection, corrections and final publication decisions. Calgary News Live identifies its leadership and contributors accurately and does not use invented author identities.

Coverage scope

The site is organized around Breaking, Crime & Safety, Traffic & Transit, City Hall, Business and Community coverage, alongside a complete Latest stream and a Search page for finding a specific story.

Clear and useful local reporting

Rather than chasing volume, Calgary News Live prioritizes verified information, useful context and clear presentation so readers can understand what happened and why it matters locally.

Who writes what you read

Initial articles use the organizational byline “By Calgary News Live Staff” and are reviewed before publication. A named contributor appears only after that public byline has been reviewed and approved. Editorial review alone does not make someone the named author of a story.
