  • Locations for Sample of Full Runs of Ontario Newspapers
    CCRI/IRCS York University Centre Date created/modified: September 03, 2004 Sampling Ontario Newspapers 1911-1951: Criteria, Coverage, Comparisons Heather L. Garrett Canadian Century Research Infrastructure Project, York University Centre Introduction: This is the first of a series of analytic papers to be produced at the York University Centre regarding various aspects of the CCRI/IRCS project. It describes the sampling of newspapers in the province of Ontario between 1911-1951. As a source of contextual data complementing the census data for the time period there were many newspapers available for inclusion in the sample of provincial publications. In the first two sections of this report, the criteria used to determine the sample and its coverage are discussed. Many changes were occurring in the province and the newspaper industry during the period from which our sample is drawn. One change was the decrease in the number of newspapers published. For example, by 1913 Canada had 138 daily newspapers (Rutherford, 1978:49) and almost 40% were published in Ontario. Between 1914 and 1922, however, 40 Canadian papers ceased publication due in the most part to mergers and economic factors related to the 1913 recession (Rutherford, 1978). While the total number of papers being published was declining, the circulation rates of the papers that emerged or continued to be published increased. The circulation rate for Toronto’s Globe, for example, was 47,120 in 1901 and by 1921 it had increased to 93,898. The circulation rate for the Globe’s main competitor, The Mail and Empire was 41,181 in 1901 and by 1921 it had increased to 93,273 (McKim, 1901:236; 1922:47).

  • GREAT L Lgs EDUCATION MATERIAL DIRECTORY of GREAT LARES EDUCATION MA!Z'!ERW
    DIBmmOF GREAT L_lgS EDUCATION MATERIAL DIRECTORY OF GREAT LARES EDUCATION MA!Z'!ERW Published by the Great Lakes Scknce Advisory Board International Joint Commission 1987; reprinted 1988; 1989 Welcome to the third edition of the Dimdory of Gmat Laks Education Materid. lhis pr+d began in 1984, when the Science Advieory Board's Socioeconomics Subcommittee surveyed sevaral hundred educatore and producers of educational programe to determine what matenials they fbund moet ueeful in teaching others about the Great Lakee. The goal of the eurvey wae to deternine wht items were available, and which were used moet often for variow eubject areae and gxwlw. Resub of thie survey were tabulated, and a followup questionnaire was eent in early 1987 to update ~e- eponeee to produce the first edition of thie directory. The eecond edition in 1988 included minor updates to the lietinge. To produce this latest edition, more than 600 educators were emeyed to determine whether there hae been an increase in the type and amount of materials available on the Great Lakes, ae well ae the frequency with which teachers are using these materials. What we found ie encouraging. First, more information is being produced. The wide variety of pamphlets, technical reparts and booklets available from government agencies, environmental organizations and scientific bodies continues to expand, and teachem still find thie information ueeful in developing their own educa- tional progxame. Second, thie information d materiale written epecifically for the educational eetting are getting into teachere' hande more quickly, and &om a wider variety of eourcee. The survey responees hopefully show that greater marketing efforts are being expended to get Great Lakee materiale into the claesroorn, and that teachers are eeebing out information on the lakee more than they were even two wars ago.
