Newspapers remain indispensable to Canadian democracy as guardians of truth, watchdogs of power, and chroniclers of our shared life. National Newspaper Week, which runs October 4-10, is not a ceremonial nod to history. It is a civic necessity that rallies public attention to the institutions that hold governments, corporations and powerful individuals accountable.
Celebrating this week reinforces the social contract between citizens and the press and strengthens the conditions that make informed self-government possible.
