More Features For You In OUR Bulldog
We’re bringing you even more new features in The Bulldog.
First, our readership statistics show us that big interests of Bulldog readers are movies, television and technology.
So we’ve given you those: Bulldog Movies and TV plus Bulldog Technology. Enjoy.
And if you remembered from our last post about new readership features, we said that we were negotiating with a big native advertising firm but that our hopes of concluding a deal at that point were unlikely.
Well The Bulldog was wrong about that. That the negotiations were tedious was correct … about 65 emails in total … but this publication has partnered with Outbrain, the largest native advertising company in the world. And The Bulldog is in pretty elite company for a humble little puppy. Outbrain also has as partners The Washington Post, the BBC, Vanity Fair, CNN, MSN, Time, Variety, Car and Driver and Variety to name a very few.
Jaywalking Ad Gripping But Tasteful
We’re testing Outbrain right now to see if it is a good fit for The Bulldog. Outbrain’s algorithms are learning about Bulldog readership and will begin targeting its service to our interests. Until then, expect to see stories on the mating habits of gerbils and the latest gossip on the stars. And that’s why we’re testing it. We need to see that it provides a good service to our readers. Sorry, gerbil enthusiasts. You’ll have to go elsewhere for rodent news.
So more features tailored to Bulldog reader interests, a mobile app, a website on Google News, a partnership with the largest native advertising firm in the world, getting banned by Facebook like the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail, using artificial intelligence for illustrations, and producing the best news, opinion and analysis website on Ottawa municipal and local affairs. Why we’re even expanding that content to look periodically at Ottawa’s role in the national and provincial firmament. Watch for the feature The Federal Capital running on occasion in The Bulldog.
Hope you like the improvements. We’re pretty excited here about them.
So support your local Bulldog. It supports you.
We hope you think of it as OUR Bulldog and we appreciate your readership, your patronage of our advertisers and your comments.

Does this mean that in addition to ads with headlines like “Towns coming soon
to Etobicoke”* such as we have today, we’ll get exciting ads from Washington? And what does “native” mean in the context of “largest native advertising firm in the world”?
* I thought that Etobicoke was already surrounded by the other communities that make up Toronto and Peel. Where are these new towns going to be located and is this part of a Doug Ford offensive against Bonnie Crombie and Patrick Brown?
Ms. Voter:
You’re in a particularly snippy mood today.
I believe I’m being victim-shamed.
cheers and thx
