Telegraph-Journal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Telegraph-Journal is a daily newspaper published in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. It publishes a hybrid newspaper, serving as the province's primary English language daily while catering to the Saint John audience in its City and Sports sections. The newspaper is published by Brunswick News, owned by J.K. Irving. The Telegraph-Journal is the only New Brunswick-based newspaper to be distributed province wide.

By the late-1990s the Irving family owned all major newspapers and television stations within New Brunswick (Howlett et al 1999, 268). In 2005, J.K. Irving bought the Brunswick News newspaper division from the rest of the family, making it soley owned by him. The broadcast portion of BNI was not purchased and is operated independantly from BNI newspapers. By 2006, most print media outlets in New Brunswick, outside of several university campus newspapers, were owned by J.K. Irving.
