Abstract

A recent article in this journal (Trim, et. al., 1983) attempted to show that a decline in competition in the newspaper industry led to a significant decline in quantity and quality of local news. To do this, the authors compiled and compared several measures of local news coverage in Ottawa and in Winnipeg for two six-month periods, the first from July 1 to December 31 , 1979 when each city had two major daily newspapers and the second from July 1 to December 31, 1981 when each city had only one major newspaper.
