Both are published by Postmedia Network. There are also two national newspapers distributed in the city: The Globe and Mail, which began distribution of a “national edition” into B.C. in 1983, and in more recent years launched a three-page B.C. news section in an effort to increase its readership in the city.  The National Post, also owned by Postmedia, entered city markets only in the last few years but has very little British Columbia content.Vancouver has four Chinese-language daily newspapers, Ming Pao, Sing Tao, World Journal and The Epoch Times. Ming Pao and Sing Tao cater to a Cantonese-speaking readership whereas World Journal and The Epoch Times target Mandarin speakers.Vancouver business publications include the following:BC Business Mag (monthly)Business Edge Vancouver (weekly)Business in Vancouver (weekly)Journal of Commerce BC (daily)Make It Business (monthly)Western Investor (monthly)One free daily newspaper, Metro is published in the city from Monday to Friday. It contains a small number of local news stories.

Its most extensive sections are focused on entertainment and music features and listings. The Georgia Straight began as a counterculture newspaper in the 1960s, full of controversial politics and occasional “obscene” cartoons and pictures, including the hippie classic comic Harold Hedd. During this period the Straight‘s owner and publisher, Dan MacLeod, was repeatedly harassed by the city and its anti-hippie mayor Tom Campbell. MacLeod’s offices were repeatedly raided and he was beaten by police.[citation needed] During the 1970s MacLeod converted the publication to a much more entertainment-oriented publication, avoiding political content until the mid-1980s.The Post Group Multimedia publishes 3 weekly newspapers: The Asian Pacific Post (Chinese), South Asian Post (Indo-Canadian), and The Filipino Post, for the three largest immigrant communities in the Lower Mainland.The Express is the title used for an occasional union-published newspaper published by the press unions when they are on strike.Neighbourhood newspapers[edit]NewspaperLanguagePublication frequency24H (Vancouver edition)EnglishCeased publication 2017The Indo-Canadian VoiceEnglishWeekly, free, EnglishThe Awaaz NewspaperEnglishWeekly, free, PunjabiThe Canadian ImmigrantEnglishMonthly, freeDiscorderEnglishMonthly, freeFilipino PostEnglishWeekly, free, FilipinoThe Georgia StraightEnglishWeekly, freeGood News WeeklyEnglishWeekly, freeJornal Brasil VancouverPortugueseDaily, free, Metro VancouverLa Source \/ The SourceFrench and EnglishBi-weekly, free, bilingualL’Express du PacifiqueFrenchBi-weekly; ceased publication 2011Ming Pao (Vancouver edition)ChineseDailyMetro (Vancouver edition)EnglishCeased publication 2019North Shore NewsEnglishWeekly, free, North & West VancouverThe PeakEnglishWeekly free Simon Fraser University student newspaperThe ProvinceEnglishDaily, except SaturdayThe RepublicEnglishCeased publication 2009.

In 2006, Global BC launched the Global One traffic helicopter for live traffic updates and breaking news. CBC also has local newscasts though they are far back in the ratings.[citation needed]  Vancouver (and London, Ontario) were the first two cities in Canada to be served by cable television, in 1952.Vancouver and most of the Lower Mainland are served by Shaw Cable and by Delta Cable. Delta Cable is subsidiary of the Halifax-based telecommunications company EastLink. Telus TV also offers satellite television and IPTV service throughout most of Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.Other over-the-air television stations licensed to Bellingham that are available terrestrially in Vancouver but not carried on cable are KBCB (channel 24), an affiliate of Sonlife Broadcasting Network on subchannels 24.1, in high definition, and 24.2, in standard definition; and K24IC-D (channel 28.1), a rebroadcaster of PBS station KBTC-TV Tacoma.American network affiliates on Vancouver cable are from Seattle, Washington, including KOMO (ABC), KING (NBC), KIRO (CBS), KCTS (PBS), KSTW (The CW), and KCPQ (Fox).Magazines[edit]Boulevard Magazine, a west coast luxury lifestyle magazine serving the Chinese-speaking communities of Metro Vancouver,[4] published monthly in English and in Chinese.Business in Vancouver (BIV) is a weekly business news journalHUSH Magazine, a bi-monthly social commentary and lifestyle magazine for 25- to 40-year-olds, distributed to Downtown VancouverMegaphone Magazine, sharing stories that explore social justice, culture, politics, and independent arts in Vancouver and Victoria.MONTECRISTO Magazine, a lifestyle quarterly for discerning Vancouverites, published four times a yearResource World Magazine, a bi-monthly magazine distributed in 46 countries that reports on the business of mining and green technologiesVancouver Magazine, a lifestyle magazine with some news features, published 10 times a yearWhat’s in Magazine, a Chinese lifestyle magazine for new trends in the Asian community, published once a monthWestCoast Families, a family lifestyle magazine, published 6 times a year, plus specialty issues.Online media[edit]BC Buzz with Dave Michael Garg, online TV & magazine outlet focused on the environmentCambie Report, local politics podcastDaily Hive (formerly Vancity Buzz), local news and lifestyle outletHUSH Magazine, an editorial platform for lifestyle, social commentary and entertainmentLifeVancouver, Japanese news and events siteJornal Brasil Vancouver, Brazilian community newspaper, events, classified ads and directory websitePolitiCoast, provincial politics podcastTaiyangbao, a Chinese-language news website produced in association with The Vancouver Sun newspaperThe Tyee, alternative news siteVancouver Desi, a South Asian news portal produced in association with The Province newspaperThe Vancouver Observer, alternative local news siteVancouver Weekly, alternative news weekly siteVIES Magazine, independent entertainment magazine in Vancouver, B.C. with focus on music, sports, food and beverageThe West End Journal, independent online community website serving Vancouver’s West End \/ Coal Harbour neighbourhoodsMedia ownership[edit]Vancouver has some of the most concentrated media ownership in all of Canada. The Vancouver Sun, The Province, the National Post, and 12 community newspapers are all owned by Postmedia Network. Partly in response to that concentration, a group of journalists \u2014 many of them ex-Sun employees \u2014 started up an online news publication, The Tyee, that posts news and opinion pieces on a nearly daily basis.Ethnic media[edit]As of the 2000s there were various formats of media catering to ethnic minorities. They included 80 newspapers, 24 magazines, 15 television stations, 15 radio stations, and 10 printed business directories and online publications. Daniel Ahadi and Catherine A. Murray, the authors of “Urban Mediascapes and Multicultural Flows: Assessing Vancouver\u2019s Communication Infrastructure,” wrote that publication turnover, or the creation and failure and publications, was very high.[5]References[edit]See also[edit]     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki21\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki21\/media-in-vancouver-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Media in Vancouver – Wikipedia"}}]}]
