Evolution of Canadian Newspaper

Since we did not have classes on Tuesday last week, your task was to read the handout that I gave out at the beginning of the semester. What you will have to fully comprehend are:

1. The Penny Press
2. What role the advertisers play in newspaper
3. Where did the support come from for the early newspapers
4. Why newspapers are labelled either right or left wing?
5. Take into careful consideration of the Howe case
6. What does Press Freedom mean?
7. Canadian Press
8. What role does Canadian newspaper play in present day?

We will however, go over and I will answer any further questions in regards to the historical aspects.


**Note: make sure you fully understand point 4, this will greatly aid you with the understanding for the Editorial and Op-Ed section that we will deal with later.
