CanWest blamed for paper's irrelevance

The headline, The death of Canadian journalism, is probably a mite overstated but the article about the fate of the flagship newspaper in Canada's third largest city, the Vancouver Sun, is a worthwhile read. The writer lays blame for the paper being "irrelevant or dysfunctional" at the feet of its owner, CanWest Global Communications, arguing that Canada's leading media company "has such a stranglehold on the city that any reporter caught speaking out against them would have trouble finding work in Vancouver again."
