The Vancouver Courier is a Canadian semiweekly local newspaper published in Vancouver, British Columbia by CanWest Global Communications. Currently, it is Canada's largest distributed community newspaper,[2] with a weekly distribtuion of 265,000.[1] The circulation estimate includes The Vancouver Courier, The Vancouver Courier Downtown, and the Vancouver Courier Westside and The Vancouver Courier Eastside on Wednesdays.
Delivered to homes the paper is distributed from UBC to the Vancouver proper boundary at Boundary Road.[2]
The newspaper began as an independent in 1908 as the Eburne News. With in the last ten years its ownership has changed three times. First by the national Southam chain, then by Hollinger, and finally CanWest.
The paper has been named twice, 'Best Community Newspaper in B.C.' and was the second runner-up in the Canadian Community Newspaper Association's general excellence competition.[3]
Unlike most community newspapers, which feature several news stories on their front pages, the Courier's front page almost always features a single, lengthy feature that runs over several pages.
