History and profile
MoneySense was founded by Rogers Media in 1999 and started publishing in September 1999.{{cite news|url=http://www.mastheadonline.com/archives/1999/199903.shtml|title=MHPL set to launch ambitious new finance title|date=10 March 1999|newspaper=Masthead|access-date=19 February 2016|location=Toronto}} It covers articles on personal finance and targets both men and women.
In 2009 MoneySense launched a new website to distinguish its brand within Rogers Publishing and to address navigation challenges their customers were having with the old site. The site launch was sponsored by TD Canada Trust. Prior to this, MoneySense was merged with the Canadian Business and Profit under the CB Online brand banner.{{Cite web|url=http://marketingmag.ca/media/moneysense-distinguishes-itself-online-12630|title=MoneySense distinguishes itself online|date=21 December 2009|author=Jeromy Lloyd|language=en-US|access-date=26 September 2019}}
In 2016 Rogers Media announced it was moving four publications, including Moneysense, Flare, Sportsnet and Canadian Business to a digital, online format.{{Cite web|url=https://torontosun.com/2016/09/30/rogers-announces-magazine-overhaul-will-stop-printing-flare-sportsnet-moneysense-and-canadian-business/wcm/5c2b28e6-1195-4608-ab2b-6d0b6a089008|title=Rogers announces magazine overhaul, will stop printing Flare, Sportsnet, MoneySense and Canadian Business|work=Toronto Sun|date=30 September 2016|language=en-CA|access-date=2 October 2019}} A significant cut back to its publishing division.{{Cite web|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/09/30/newsalert-rogers-announces-it-will-stop-printing-four-magazines-as-of-january_n_12264966.html|title=Rogers To Stop Printing 4 Major Canadian Magazines|date=2016-09-30|website=HuffPost Canada|language=en|access-date=2 October 2019}} The print edition was terminated in December 2016{{cite news|author=SeanCraig|title=Rogers makes major retreat from print media, taking four titles online, shopping others |url=http://business.financialpost.com/news/rogers-communications-to-stop-printing-four-magazines-as-of-january |access-date=15 January 2017|newspaper=Financial Post|date=30 September 2016|location=Toronto|publisher=Postmedia Network Inc.}} and since January 2017, it has been published only online.{{cite web |last=Posadzki |first=Alexandra |author-link=Alexandra Posadzki |date=30 September 2016 |title=Rogers to make 4 of its magazines online-only by 2017 |url=http://www.cp24.com/news/rogers-to-make-4-of-its-magazines-online-only-by-2017-1.3095968 |access-date=30 September 2016 |work=CP24 |publisher=BellMedia}}
In 2018 it was reported that Rogers was looking to sell MoneySense along with Maclean's, Canadian Business, Today's Parent, Hello! Canada, Flare and Chatelaine in a single bundle. This was announced approximately two months after approximately 75 people were laid off.{{Cite web|url=https://mobilesyrup.com/2018/08/16/rogers-reportedly-looking-sell-digital-print-magazine-assets-single-package/|title=Rogers reportedly looking to sell digital and print magazine assets as single package|date=16 August 2018|website=MobileSyrup|language=en|access-date=26 September 2019}}
