"Read It While It's Hot"

Newspapers are used across the world as means of distributing information. They are famous publications that document all of the most important events in history. Newspapers such as "The New York Times" and "The Chicago Tribune" are just two of America's prominent newspapers. In Canada "The Vancouver Sun" and "The Province" are the two most popular journals in British Columbia and Canada in general. "The Vancouver Sun" is printed daily and is distributed throughout all of British Columbia. This famous newspaper was started in British Columbia on February 12, 1912. The papers headquarters can be found in Vancouver, British Columbia one of the provinces largest cities. Surveys have been taken and the results prove that "The Vancouver Sun" has 499,800 readers per day (according to a NADbank survey.) This comes in a close second to "The Province," British Columbia’s most widely read newspaper. "The Vancouver Sun" is sometimes referred to as "The Sun." The owner of the newspaper is currently CanWest Global Communications Corp. with the publisher being Kevin D. Bent, and the editor Patricia Graham.


To keep up with technology "The Sun" has a great website that can be very useful. Some of the features to the website are the classifieds, "Inside the Sun," weekly sections, and photo galleries. Tons of other features can be found on the website such as sports, announcements, etc. Check out the site for yourself and learn about some of the current events occurring in Canada today:
