Vancouver Courier, Sunday, April 24, 2005

Delivered to homes the paper is distributed from UBC to the Vancouver proper boundary at Boundary Road.^[2]

The newspaper began as an independent in 1908 as the Eburne News. With in the last ten years its ownership has changed three times. First by the national Southam chain, then by Hollinger, and finally CanWest.

The paper has been named twice, 'Best Community Newspaper in B.C.' and was the second runner-up in the Canadian Community Newspaper Association's general excellence competition.^[3]

Unlike most community newspapers, which feature several news stories on their front pages, the Courier's front page almost always features a single, lengthy feature that runs over several pages.
