Closing date and time 2014/12/18 14:00 EST

Description
Daily and non-daily newspapers have been an important part of the communications infrastructure in Canada for many years.  The Federal Government supports the newspaper industry both directly through the Canada Periodical Fund and indirectly through legislative measures to ensure that Canadian authored content reflecting Canadian perspectives is accessible to Canadian readers.

The environment in which the Canadian newspaper industry operates has changed considerably in recent years. The traditional advertising-based business model is in flux and new competitive pressures abound. Barriers to entry have been dramatically reduced and new business opportunities are emerging. 

The aim of this research is to study the impact of digital technology on the newspaper industry and to provide an up-to-date portrait of the sector.
