The Overcast

Features The Overcast

The Overcast is a multi-award-winning media body stationed in St.
John’s, Newfoundland (Canada).
Best known for its monthly print magazine, The Overcast also publishes exclusive web content on weekdays, administers the $12,500 Albedo Grant to support promising new business ventures, and, the Borealis Music Prize — Newfoundland’s richest award for a local album of the year.The Overcast is mandated to promote the people, places, artists, academics, restauranteurs and entrepreneurs that make the island of Newfoundland the place it is, and, to start conversations around local issues in hopes of making the province an even better place to live.
We differ from other local media by avoiding the “This Just Happened!” style of breaking news.
The Overcast is a cultural magazine looking to tap the vein of what makes the island distinct or worthwhile, or, simply providing locals with a few entertaining reads throughout the week.
