National Newswatch was founded in 1996 by Will LeRoy, who remains the Founder and Curator-in-Chief today. LeRoy created the platform to provide a comprehensive source for Canadian political news and opinion, recognizing the need for a centralized hub that aggregates content from various sources across the political spectrum. The idea came from his desire to offer Canadians a one-stop destination for staying informed about national politics. National Newswatch continues to be independently owned and operated by Will LeRoy. Based in Canada, National Newswatch covers a wide range of topics with a primary focus on Canadian politics and current affairs. While they don't produce original content, they curate and aggregate news articles, opinion pieces, and analysis from various Canadian and international sources. Their coverage includes political news, polls, opinion articles, international affairs, climate issues, economic news, defense matters, and indigenous topics. They also feature podcasts on current affairs and politics from across the political spectrum. **One interesting fact**: A unique aspect of National Newswatch is its connection to veteran Canadian journalist Peter Mansbridge. The site offers a weekly newsletter called 'The Buzz' with Peter Mansbridge, where he provides thoughtful takes on the week's news stories, bridging traditional journalism with modern digital media.
