To mark the paper’s 180th anniversary, \u003ci\u003eGlobe\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Riveting, insightful, disturbing, witty, and always a joy to read, \u003ci\u003eA Nation’s Paper\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Globe and Mail\u003c\/i\u003e will donate all its proceeds from the book to Journalists for Human Rights.","brand":"River Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"McClelland \u0026amp; Stewart |  Hardback  |  2024-10-15","offer_id":46019448930559,"sku":"9780771006289","price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_e9734002-ce21-4043-bd1f-70bae16c47f4.jpg?v=1723160011","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780771006289","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
