(Continued from Page 2) papers have a total circulation of 6.5 million, which is 1.5 million more than all our daily papers combined. They had 1977 advertising revenues of $141 million, which is more than all of the country's general, trade and business magazines combined. And though some may still be owned, edited and written by folksy old country journalists, a growing number belong to publishing conglomerates owned by people whose names are familiar in the ranks of Canada's corporate elite. "During the past few years the weeklies haVe achieved some of the economic power (and some of the problems) that should logically go along with their numbers. They have grown up, and the reasons aren't hard to find. A middle class that once looked down its sophisticated nose at weeklies is speedily turning to them now. This new audience coincides with a great mechanical revolution in the printing trades that has made papers cheaper to publish, and hence more numerous. Also, the weeklies provide one of the few advertising outlets for thousands of Ineal. retailers. which are the weeklies' main source of revenue." From the Fort Erie Times Review
