About Us

Samaritanmag.com is a non-frivolous online magazine that covers the good deeds and efforts of Samaritans — individuals, charities, non-governmental organizations, small businesses and corporations.

Samaritan 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. Samaritan will take advantage of the well-established trend of giving and caring, which shows the public at a heightened level of concern and awareness about the world around them.

This trend yields statistics that show the public’s 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).

Samaritan is a content driven site with high journalistic standards; our screening process is tailored to allow only the most sincere of musicians, actors, sports figures, politicians, corporate heads and everyday individuals into our features. All content is original and written by professional journalists or delivered as first-person accounts.

But the content is not entirely weighty. Our changing cover taglines will be fun and flippant, and point up the public’s boredom with outrageous tabloid coverage: eg. “We Care…But We Don’t Care If Kirstie Gained Weight,” “We Care…But We Don’t Care If The Hills Is Staged,” “We Care But We Don’t Care About Jon Gosselin Divorcing Kate.” Samaritans know there are more important things going on in the world — poverty, global warming, HIV/AIDS, cancer, childhood obesity, war …

Samaritan aims to cover 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.
