"In an industry that is nothing if not unpredictable, I'm so grateful to be celebrating this milestone and can't thank the readers and supporters enough for helping The GATE grow into what it has become today," said W. Andrew Powell, Owner and Editor-in-Chief. "Supporting The GATE means supporting independent journalism, and it gives us the opportunity to tell the stories that our readers crave, and that we otherwise wouldn't be able to tell without their help."
Initially started as a zine by Powell, The GATE was an answer to the ever-changing media landscape that just wasn't offering the opportunities necessary to tell the entertainment, culture, and lifestyle stories he was passionate about. Fast forward 20 years and The GATE has grown from a few stories a month to thousands of posts, featuring top interviews with Hollywood heavy-hitters like Ron Howard and Taika Waititi to Canadian cultural icons like Tatiana Maslany and Ryan Gosling. With over 30,000 subscribers across YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, The GATE is accredited at major industry events and festivals, including the Academy Awards, the Toronto International Film Festival, and the Canadian Screen Awards, and is a voting member of the Television Critics Association.
