It was named by its owner, Christopher Bratty. The editorial was overseen by Derek Finkle. Cameron Williamson and Alicia Kowalewski were the creative and art directors, respectively. ==Brand lineage== In 2003, ''TORO'' magazine entered into the Canadian marketplace as a glossy men's lifestyle publication, distributed by ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'' as well as by subscription and newsstand. During its four-year run, TORO garnered more than 60 National Magazine Award nominations.<ref>{{Citation\|title=National Magazine Awards\|work=Magazine Awards\|url=http://www.magazine-awards.com/index.cfm/ci_id/1397/la_id/1 }}</ref> In 2007, ''TORO'' magazine suspended publication.<ref>{{cite news\|title=Driven magazine expands\|url=http://canadianmags.blogspot.com.tr/2007/03/driven-magazine-expands.html\|accessdate=24 July 2015\|work=Canadian Magazines\|date=27 March 2007}}</ref>. A web-only version of TORO launched in May 2008, co-founded by Christopher Bratty and William Morassutti, the founding editor. The digital TORO reached a peak monthly readership of 543,000 unique visitors in October, 2010 (ComScore/October, 2010) and operated for five years, until 2013, at which point publication was suspended. A web-only version of Toro, which was put together without Derek Finkle and the vast majority of the original print magazine’s editorial staff, later appeared but bore little resemblance to the original. It was short lived. ==Print covers== [[Sam Roberts (singer-songwriter)\|Sam Roberts]] (April/May 2003) [[Donald Sutherland]] (June/July 2003) [[Ryan Gosling]] (August/September 2003) Line 77 ⟶ 76: [[Emilie de Ravin]] (March 2006) [[The Streets]] (May 2006) [[MSTRKRFT]], [[Josh Dean (actor)\|Josh Dean]], [[Leslie Bibb]] (Summer 2006) [[John Lithgow]], [[Justin Timberlake]], [[Emily Haines]], [[Sarah Carter]] (October 2006) [[Gordon Moakes]] (March 2007) Line 121 ⟶ 120: [[Category:Men's magazines published in Canada]] [[Category:Online magazines published in Canada]] [[Category:Defunct magazines published in ~~Canada~~Ontario]] [[Category:Magazines established in 2003]] [[Category:Magazines disestablished in 2007]]
