An Agenda for a Viable News Publishing Industry
In a column published in September, David Walmsley, editor-in-chief of the Globe and Mail wrote, “Making a positive difference to someone’s life is the greatest gift a journalist can give. Perhaps an individual is heard for the first time, or an injustice is settled.

Time to Put a Filling in Truth Decay
BY JAMIE IRVING AND PAUL DEEGAN /COMMUNITYWIRE/— It’s increasingly rare that Canada’s major political parties agree on anything, especially during the heat of a federal election campaign. Yet, all agree that we should look toward Australia to ensure the long-term commercial viability of Canada’s news publishing business. Why is a strong news publishing business important to Canadians? Simply put, journalism is vital to our democracy. In their 2018 book Truth Decay, Jennifer Kavanagh and Michael D.

Our open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
Dear Prime Minister Trudeau: The media outlets publishing this letter are competitors. We publish news in every region in Canada. In both languages. We don’t always see eye-to-eye. So an open letter to you – and the prominence we’re giving it in our publications – is unprecedented. But then so is the threat to news media in Canada. And, frankly, so shocking is the inaction of your government that it demands this unprecedented step.
L’inaction du gouvernement met en danger les médias d’information canadiens
Monsieur le premier ministre Justin Trudeau, Allons droit au but. Nous, les signataires de cette lettre, sommes des concurrents. Nous publions des nouvelles dans toutes les régions du Canada, dans les deux langues. Nous ne voyons pas souvent les choses du même œil. Cette lettre ouverte qui vous est adressée – et la place que nous lui accordons dans nos publications – est donc sans précédent, tout comme la menace qui pèse sur les médias d’information au Canada.
Why we're taking the Trudeau government to task
The hundreds of publications that belong to News Media Canada are in the business of reporting the news, not making it. But this week, we’re breaking that rule by bringing together our disparate, cross-Canada member publications to speak in one united voice — and in both official languages — in an unprecedented open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which has been given prominent place (in print and online) in our member publications. We wish it didn’t have to come to this.

Google et Facebook adoptent des pratiques dignes du Moyen Âge
La pratique des « indulgences » était courante chez les riches et les puissants au Moyen Âge en Europe. Moyennant le versement de sommes importantes à l'Église, un pécheur pouvait s'assurer une place au paradis et continuer à commettre des péchés à sa guise ici-bas. Ce fut un marché plutôt avantageux tant que ça a duré. Mais la fête a pris fin en 1517, lorsque Martin Luther a cloué ses thèses sur la porte d'une église et que la Réforme a commencé.
