When you read a story on BuzzLayer, you should know exactly who wrote it, why it matters, and how we made sure it’s accurate. This About Us page gives you a clear picture of our team, our standards, and how you can reach us — so you can trust the journalism you find here.
What does BuzzLayer offer you?
BuzzLayer delivers clear, practical coverage of Canadian technology, innovation, digital policy, politics, business and public-interest stories — all written for English-speaking readers across Canada and beyond. Every article is by a named writer, reviewed by an editor, and fact-checked before publication.
We avoid spin and oversimplification. Our goal is to help you understand complex issues without needing a background in tech or policy. AI-assisted tools may support research, editing, formatting, or headline options, but human editorial judgement always comes first — no piece is published without a human editor’s approval. This blend of efficiency and accountability ensures you get reliable, readable journalism every time.
What do we cover?
We focus on the stories that help Canadians make sense of their digital world and the forces shaping it. Our core beats include Canadian technology and innovation, digital policy and regulation, federal and provincial politics, business trends, and public-interest investigations.
Our team reports on everything from new privacy laws and cybersecurity threats to startup funding rounds, telecom competition, and the impact of artificial intelligence on everyday life. We also cover the people behind the headlines — the entrepreneurs, policymakers, and advocates driving change. Whether it’s a deep dive into a federal data bill or a practical guide to securing your home network, our coverage is designed to be useful and trustworthy for Canadians from coast to coast.
How does our journalism work?
Every story is drafted by a named writer, reviewed by an editor, and verified by our fact-checking team before publication. AI-assisted tools may support research or drafting, but human editorial judgement always comes first — no piece is published without editor approval.
Our Editorial Policy outlines the standards that guide every decision, from sourcing to corrections. Our Fact‑Checking Policy details how we verify claims, check sources, and correct errors promptly. We believe transparency is the foundation of trust, and these policies are public so you can hold us accountable. If you ever spot a mistake, please let us know via our corrections procedure.
Who is responsible?
Our Editor-in-Chief Alex Nguyen (alex.nguyen@buzzlayer.org) oversees all editorial standards, publication decisions, and corrections. Managing Editor Maya Singh (maya.singh@buzzlayer.org) runs the daily newsroom, handles headline review, and commissions stories.
The editorial team includes David Kim (Consumer Tech Editor), Laura Martinez (Cybersecurity & Privacy Editor), Chris O’Brien (Startups & Innovation Correspondent), and Priya Sharma (Standards & Fact-Checking Lead). Every bylined piece is the work of a real journalist whose expertise and role are listed on our Our Team page. You can reach any editor directly — contact details are there for each person.
How this works in practice
Suppose we publish an article about a new federal privacy bill. The story is assigned by Maya Singh, written by Laura Martinez (our Cybersecurity & Privacy Editor), reviewed by Alex Nguyen for editorial accuracy, and fact-checked by Priya Sharma. Any affiliate links for relevant books or services are disclosed in the article. If an error is found later, the correction is noted at the bottom of the story and on our corrections log.
This example shows the full chain of human responsibility behind every piece. No automated system writes, approves, or vets the final version. Sponsorship or commercial relationships — such as a sponsored explainer on digital privacy — are always clearly labelled so you know the context. Our Sponsored Content Policy and Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure explain these practices in detail.
