Two English professors who relocated to Prince Edward County during the pandemic have bought the local paper, the Picton Gazette.
The historic weekly, founded in 1830, is Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s oldest, fully independent community paper. Karen Valihora teaches at York 카지노게임사이트 in Toronto, and Chris Fanning teaches at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 in Kingston.
카지노 게임 컬렉션The newspaper office closed shortly after we moved here. We worried about its fate, and we thought that buying it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play a role in sustaining and building the sense of community and of place at a time when they have never been so important. For intersecting economic and political reasons newspapers are under threat around the globe, and so are local businesses and the communities that support them,카지노 게임 컬렉션 said Valihora.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Living here you can feel that the pulse of a rich and vibrant place like Prince Edward County connects you to the whole world. Every single issue of concern here 카지노 게임 컬렉션 farming and agricultural land, labour 카지노 게임 컬렉션scarcity,카지노 게임 컬렉션 real estate prices, Syrian and Ukrainian immigration, Indigenous reconciliation, environmental degradation 카지노 게임 컬렉션 are also matters of, not just national, but global importance,카지노 게임 컬렉션 said Fanning. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Meanwhile, our universities are committed to expanding their role in the community. Part of that work involves transforming sophisticated and original research and scholarship into forms accessible and useful to a much wider readership,카지노 게임 컬렉션 said Valihora.
카지노 게임 컬렉션We are excited to begin involving our students and colleagues in writing features that address the sense of place here, as well as provide a forum for research on issues of global concern 카지노 게임 컬렉션 things like urban planning and the development of rural land, agri-tourism and the farm-to-table movements, sustainable agriculture and fisheries, and the importance of local and living histories.카지노 게임 컬렉션
카지노 게임 컬렉션Revitalizing the culture of a community newspaper offers an exciting way to re-think, re-orient, and re-frame the work the university does,카지노 게임 컬렉션 said Valihora. Both Valihora and Fanning are professors of the literature of the British eighteenth century. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s the period that saw the invention of a print culture. The daily newspaper and the novel developed through each other, and created a sense of a civil society, of a public and participatory life in the virtual community, the 카지노 게임 컬렉션republic of letters.카지노 게임 컬렉션
We know just how transformative the technologies of reading and writing can be,카지노 게임 컬렉션 said Fanning. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The Gazette is a critical record of community life in Prince Edward County, and, like newspapers in general right now, it faces a critical fight for survival,카지노 게임 컬렉션 said Mr. Fanning. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s also a fascinating piece of living history, with an archive that goes back to 1830.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The Gazette has been in the hands of the same family for 46 years. Ms. Jean Morrison, the former publisher, died in 2019. As recently as 2010, the Gazette was published twice a week.
카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s going to take some thinking through, a redesign, and a focus on the digital delivery of the paper, but we are committed to keeping the print edition in people카지노 게임 컬렉션s hands. It카지노 게임 컬렉션s an important part of creating a sense of place,카지노 게임 컬렉션 said Valihora.
