# A Nation's Paper: The Globe and Mail in the Life of Canada - Hardcover

by **John Ibbitson** (Editor)

**From Canada's newspaper of record for 180 years, here are thirty-one brilliant and provocative essays by a diverse selection of their writers on how _The Globe and Mail_ covered and influenced major events and issues from the paper's founding to the latest file.**

Since 1844, the _Globe and Mail_ and its predecessor, George Brown's _Globe_, have chronicled Canada: as a colony, a dominion, and a nation. To mark the paper's 180th anniversary, _Globe_ writers explored thirty issues and events in which the national newspaper has influenced the course of the country: Confederation, settler migrations, regional tensions, tussles over language, religion, and race. The essays reveal a tapestry of progress, conflict, and still-incomplete reconciliation: Catholic-Protestant hostilities that are now mostly the stuff of memory; the betrayal of Indigenous peoples with which we still grapple; the frustrations and triumphs of women journalists; pandemics old and new; environmental challenges; the joys of covering sports and the arts; chronicling the nation's business, international coverage, the impossibility of Canada and of this newspaper, which both somehow flourish nonetheless.

Riveting, insightful, disturbing, witty, and always a joy to read, _A Nation's Paper_ chronicles a country and a newspaper that have grown and struggled together - essential reading for anyone who wants to understand where we came from and where we are going.

_The Globe and Mail_ will donate all its proceeds from the book to Journalists for Human Rights.
