Toro (magazine)

Toro (magazine)

"Toro" is an award-winning Canadian men's magazine. It originally launched in April 2003, and ceased print production on February 12, 2007. The magazine is upscale, intellectual and sophisticated, similar to "GQ" and "Esquire", magazines from the United States and England. It targets affluent Canadian men. Along with "The Walrus", it is one of the few Canadian publications to produce long-form journalism.

The magazine was published eight times a year. The issues were listed as month/year or season(i.e. winter)/year.

The range of topics "Toro" publishes include film, TV, celebrities, music. books, sports, crime, health, fashion, food/drinks, travel, grooming, clothes, sex, media and women (usually Canadian celebrities).

After two issues, "Toro" received platinum and gold Folio Awards in New York City for its highly original design. "Toro" also improved upon the four National Magazine Awards it won in 2004 with six awards in June 2005, including gold for investigative journalism and fashion photography, a category the magazine has dominated since its launch. Toro unexpectedly folded on February 12, 2007, and the final print issue, dated March 2007, was made available only online, as a PDF file.

The issues were distributed, free of charge, to subscribers of "The Globe and Mail" as a tipped-in supplement, on popular newsstands, or by subscription throughout the country.

TORO has since relaunched as an online publication, currently updated on a daily basis. New features include the Garage Band franchise, featuring live performances from a variety of music artists.
