Ontario not:mOre frequently than 4 once a week", Thisi affects weekly papers published on Wednesday. Huron-Middlesex MPP, Jack Riddell speaking in favour of the amendment t told 'the legislature "about one household in, four or 24 per cent receive a weekly newspaper regularly but no daily or a daily only occasionally." Quoting from. 'a study by the Clyde McDonald , research firm, Mr. Riddell said weekly newspaper coverage varies according to region but it, ranges from a low of 35 per cent households to a high of 88 per cent. In Ontario 64.4 per cent of households regularly receive one or more weekly newspapers compared to 62 per cent for daily newspapers. "Who would have thought that the penetration of weekly papers for the various sales areas under study was greater than for daily newspapers? Therehas to be a reason for this, and I would say the acceptance of weekly papers by the communities throughout Ontario is an indication of the depth and reliability of news contained in the weeklies", Mr. Riddell said. ."The weeklies are more concerned with individuals living in the community, and, in my estimation, the news is more objective than it is in the daily papers. Certainly, as far as I'm concerned, they do a better job of covering campaigns on a non 7 partisAn basis than do the daili es", he said. The Huron-Middlesex MPP pointed out that 37 per cent of the households in Ontario would not have exposure to information about the campaign during. the election if the weekly papers were not permitted to advertise up to polling day. ' "Considering all these aspects, there- shoUld definitely be ne discrimination shown against the weeklies in such matters as election advertisements," Mr. Riddell said. "The weekly press remains a vital li nk between the candidate and the voter, especially in the rural ridings and, increasingly, in many of the suburban ridings." The bill passed the legislature unopposed. North Unit, Huron Assoc. Women Teachers name new officers Enter a new world of luxury Ds .1 Move up. to Diplomat class at a comfortable price...
