Timmins Daily Press

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Timmins Daily Press is a newspaper in Timmins, Ontario, which publishes six days a week. It is notable as the first paper bought by press baron Roy Thomson, who who would eventually own more than 200 newspaper including The Times of London. In something of a strange twist of fate, the paper was later sold to Hollinger, a company founded by Noah Timmins, who the city of Timmins is named after.

Currently the Daily Press is owned by Osprey Media.

The Daily Press had an average daily circulation of 8,990 in the six-month period ending on March 31, 2006, down from 9,522 in the previous six-month period. [1]

Currently the paper has three reporters, not enough to adequately cover its vast coverage area.
