| Subject Matter: Retrospective: | THE CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS ASSOCIATION IS THE NATIONAL VOICE OF THE COMMUNITY PRESS IN CANADA. A FEDERATION OF SEVEN REGIONAL NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATIONS, CCNA WAS FOUNDED IN 1919 AS THE CANADIAN WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS ASSOCIATION (CWNA). THE CREATION OF THE CWNA WAS AN EXPANSION OF THE ROLE WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS HAD IN FORMING THE CANADIAN PRESS ASSOCIATION, WHICH RECEIVED ITS CHARTER IN 1859. ORGANIZATION OF SEPARATE ASSOCIATIONS TO GOVERN THE AFFAIRS OF THE DAILY, WEEKLY, AND MAGAZINE PUBLISHING INDUSTRIES WAS SEEN AS A MORE EFFICIENT MEANS TO SERVE EACH SEGMENT OF THE PRINT INDUSTRY. TODAY, CCNA CELEBRATES MORE THAN 80 YEARS OF REPRESENTING THE COMMUNITY PRESS IN CANADA AND IS MADE UP OF THE ATLANTIC COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS ASSOCIATION, THE QUEBEC COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS ASSOCIATION, THE ONTARIO COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS ASSOCIATION, THE MANITOBA COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS ASSOCIATION, THE SASKATCHEWAN WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS ASSOCIATION, THE ALBERTA WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS ASSOCIATION AND THE BRITISH COLUMBIA & YUKON COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS ASSOCIATION. MEMBERSHIP BY INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS IN ANY ONE OF THESE SEVEN REGIONAL ASSOCIATIONS INCLUDES MEMBERSHIP IN THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION. CCNA CURRENTLY REPRESENTS MORE THAN 700 ENGLISH-LANGUAGE COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS WITH A TOTAL FIRST-EDITION CIRCULATION OF MORE THAN 6.9 MILLION COPIES PER WEEK. | ||||
| Subject Matter: Prospective: | THE OBJECTIVE FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS IS TO INCREASE THE PERCENTAGE OF MARKET SHARE FOR COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ADVERTISING. | ||||
