Everything about Ottawa Citizen totally explained
The
Ottawa Citizen is an
English-language daily newspaper owned by
CanWest Global in
Ottawa,
Canada. According to the Canadian Newspaper Association, the paper has a circulation of 141,540.
Established as
The Bytown Packet in 1845 by
William Harris, it was renamed the
Citizen in 1851. The newspaper's original motto, which has recently been returned to the editorial page, was
Fair play and Day-Light.
The paper has been through a number of owners. In 1846, Harris sold the paper to
John Bell and
Henry J. Friel.
Robert Bell brought the paper in 1849. In 1877,
Charles Herbert Mackintosh, the editor under Robert Bell, became publisher. In 1879, it became one of several papers owned by the
Southam family. It remained under Southam until Southam itself was purchased by
Conrad Black's
Hollinger Inc.. In 2000, Black sold most of his Canadian holdings to CanWest Global.
The editorial view of the
Citizen has varied with its ownership, taking a
reform, anti-Tory position under Harris and a
conservative position under Bell. Under the Southams, it moved to the left, supporting the
Liberals largely in opposition to the
Progressive Conservative Party's support of
free trade in the late 1980s. Under Black, it moved to the right and became a supporter of the
Reform Party. It endorsed the
Conservative Party of Canada in the
2006 federal election.
In 2002, its publisher
Russell Mills was dismissed following the publication of a story critical of
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and an editorial calling Chrétien's resignation.
