Archive for the ‘Newspaper Funding’ Category

Last week the Government of Canada announced that 11 non-daily newspapers and magazines belonging to the Canadian Community Newspaper Association would receive funding through the Canadian Periodical Fund (CPF). The CPF has three component parts for funding options: Aid to Publishers, Business Innovation, and Collective Initiatives. Aid to Publishers awards enabled the Alberta and Ontario publications to invest in a variety of different aspects of their newspaper production process from marketing to training to developing online and digital platforms and resources. While the Aid to Publishers funding deadline has closed, publishers can still apply for the Business Innovation award which aims to increase the diversity of content for newspapers and online publications for Canadian readers.
