Über diesen Titel
Since 1844, the Globe and Mail and its predecessor, George Brown’s Globe, have chronicled Canada: as a colony, a dominion, and a nation. To mark the paper’s 180th anniversary, Globe writers explored thirty issues and events in which the national newspaper has influenced the course of the country: Confederation, settler migrations, regional tensions, tussles over language, religion, and race. The essays reveal a tapestry of progress, conflict, and still-incomplete reconciliation: Catholic-Protestant hostilities that are now mostly the stuff of memory; the betrayal of Indigenous peoples with which we still grapple; the frustrations and triumphs of women journalists; pandemics old and new; environmental challenges; the joys of covering sports and the arts; chronicling the nation’s business, international coverage, the impossibility of Canada and of this newspaper, which both somehow flourish nonetheless.
Riveting, insightful, disturbing, witty, and always a joy to read, A Nation’s Paper chronicles a country and a newspaper that have grown and struggled together – essential reading for anyone who wants to understand where we came from and where we are going.
The Globe and Mail will donate all its proceeds from the sale of this audiobook to Journalists for Human Rights.

"An entertaining and informative essay collection about the Globe and Mail. . . . Reading this illuminating history [was] a tonic. . . . John Ibbitson has gathered thirty essays by dozens of Globe alumni, who chronicle in fascinating detail the key events in Canada's history where the paper played an important role. . . . There are gripping pieces [here]. . . . This is a vivid story of a bygone era, when a single publication with a large and broad readership could still serve a crucial role in uniting vastly different parts of a huge and important country. . . . A Nation's Paper is well-stocked with delicious anecdotes. . . . Ultimately, A Nation's Paper shows how the Globe and Canadians have grown up, almost in lockstep, helping to build a strong and fascinating country together."
