About Us

Samaritanmag.com doesn't care who is dating who, who gained weight in Hollywood, and who might be engaged. Samaritanmag.com is for those people sick of tabloid news and invasive, silly stories. Samaritanmag.com is an online magazine that covers the good deeds and efforts of Samaritans —  individuals, charities, non-governmental organizations, small businesses and corporations — anyone trying to make a difference in the world.

Samaritanmag.com is the creation of Toronto's Karen Bliss, a woman with a fantastic job as a music journalist who is ready to give back through her connections, skills and efforts. The aim of Samaritanmag.com is to provide others with the information, incentive and impetus to do the same. Citizens of all ages are showing increased willingness to give back, whether through volunteer efforts, charitable donation, or steps at home to better society. Businesses are doing the same, practicing corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Samaritanmag.com is a content driven site with high journalistic standards; All content is original and written by professional journalists.

But the content is not entirely weighty. Our changing We Care cover taglines are fun and flippant, and point up the public's boredom with outrageous and invasive tabloid coverage. Samaritans know there are more important things going on in the world than who broke up and who had plastic surgery. There is poverty, global warming, HIV/AIDS, cancer, animal welfare, childhood obesity, war and a host of other causes that people are passionate about.

Samaritanmag.com covers diverse social issues from the state of the environment to humanitarian efforts and from charitable organizations to options for social betterment. From issues in developing countries to our own backyard, from major profiles and investigative pieces to product recommendations and services, Samaritan will be the place to find it.
