  • Rish Catholic Press in Toronto 1887 - 1892: the Years of Transition
    1 CANADIAN JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION, 1984, -10 (3), 27 - 46. THE !RISH CATHOLIC PRESS IN TORONTO 1887 - 1892: THE YEARS OF TRANSITION Gerald J. Stortz Wilf rid Laurier University The years 1850 - 1900 marked the apex for Irish Catholic journalism in Toron- to. During these years identification was on the basis of both ethnicity and religion. By century's end, however, the importance of ethnic identification waned and religion became the most important element. The rivalry between the last two Irish Catholic journals which ended with their replacement by a publication which was Catholic is indi- cative of this process. Les ann6es 1850 jusqu B 1900 repr6sen- taient 1 apog6e du journalisme Catholi- que irelandais. Pendant ces ann6es 1' ethnicit6 et la religion etaient les fondationa de l'identit6. Mais A la fin due si6cle la religion etait plus importante que 1'ethnicit&. La 1'emu- lation entre les deux derniers journaux Catholiques-irelandais cessait avec 1' 6tablissement d une publication seule- ment Catholique. The Irish Catholic press in Toronto flour- ished in the second half of the nineteenth cen- tury. There were a variety of reasons for this, not the least of which was the massive influx of immigrants during and immediately after the famine. Among these groups there was also a national pride which demanded an ethnic press. And the Irish press, like all journals benefited from the general rise in literacy and a strong interest in current events. By 1863, the market was strong enough to support two journals, the Irish Canadian and the Canadian Freeman. Each reflected a dominant train of thought within the Irish community.
