With all the mainstream and independent working to cover the upcoming G20 summit in Toronto, the new kid on the block has cut itself out a niche.

OpenFile, the new online hyperlocal journalism project, is dedicating an entire section to examining the many aspects of the G20 event, but from a very localize perspective. It is also leveraging its contributors to bring new and fresh approaches to its coverage.

“During the G20 Toronto Summit, the world will be watching as leaders from the 20 most powerful nations converge on our city. OpenFile wants to know who the conference is affecting you and your community. Let us know, and we will tell the world.”
