Our Journalism and Media Services
Mymspgoat brings together five complementary services under one roof - from investigative reporting and long-form writing to documentary filmmaking, media consulting, and podcast production. Every project is handled by our Ottawa-based team of experienced journalists and producers, with the editorial rigour and independence that define our work since 2019.
Investigative Reporting
Our investigative team digs into the stories that matter. Whether you need a focused two-week inquiry or a months-long in-depth investigation, we combine thorough research, source verification, and clear storytelling to deliver reports that hold up under scrutiny. Every investigation follows strict editorial standards and is led by journalists with track records in accountability reporting.
Freelance Writing
From feature articles and op-eds to multi-part content series, our writers produce polished, publication-ready work on deadline. We handle research, interviews, drafting, and revisions - delivering pieces that meet professional editorial standards in both English and French. For larger projects, per-word rates are available starting at 5,000 words.
Documentary Production
Our documentary team produces compelling visual stories from concept to final cut. We offer short-form, standard, and feature-length productions, as well as standalone post-production services. Led by videographer David Lavoie, every project benefits from professional-grade equipment and a commitment to authentic, well-crafted storytelling.
Media Consulting
Whether you are building a communications strategy, training a newsroom, or need an independent media audit, our consulting services give you access to experienced editorial professionals. From focused two-hour strategy sessions to ongoing monthly retainers, we help organizations strengthen their media presence and editorial processes.
Podcast and Audio
We produce professional podcast episodes from start to finish - research, interview coordination, recording, and editing. Whether you need a single polished episode, a six-part series, or standalone audio editing, our team delivers broadcast-quality results that engage listeners and serve your editorial goals.
