Brunswick News
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brunswick News is a Canadian newspaper publishing company located in New Brunswick.
Brunswick News and its sister company New Brunswick Broadcasting Company are owned by J.D. Irving Limited.
Brunswick News operates the following newspapers:
Daily
Weekly
- The Tribune (Campbellton and Restigouche County)
- La Voix (French Language) (Campbellton and Restigouche County)
- The Bugle-Observer (Woodstock)
- La Cataract (French Language) (Grand Falls, New Brunswick)
- Le Madawaska (French Language) (Edmundston, New Brunswick)
New Brunswick Papers that are not owned by the Irvings include:
- Acadie-Nouvelle (French Language) (New Brunswick Wide)
The Irvings, through Brunswick News, own the major English-language papers in New Brunswick. Irving is also the largest company in the province and many citizens accuse Brunswick News-owned papers of failing to cover stories that depict the Irvings in a bad light. The Irving media monopoly of New Brunswick was investigated in the Davey report (1970) and the Kent commission (1981) [1].
In 2002, Brunswick News Ltd. — the newspaper division of the Irving empire — went on a buying spree and acquired most of the community newspapers in the province, both French and English. No federal regulatory agency challenged the purchases.
