LOCAL MEDIA MATTERS

Studying the economic value of local media is crucial to establishing it as the heartbeat of the Canadian economy. It provides meaningful jobs that support families and fuel local economies.

Local media is also the voice of small businesses. It provides them with a space to advertise, connect with customers, and expand. Without it, many local businesses would struggle to be seen. A healthy media sector fosters a robust business community.

Local media's contribution to Canada goes beyond dollars—it’s about people, jobs, culture, and community. Canadian Media connects our communities to keeping informed and our leaders accountable. It gives us the tools to participate in democracy, understand what’s going on around us, and fight for what matters. Such an informed public is the foundation of a healthy and fair society, which has immense long-term value to our nation.
