Summary
Canada's first published newspaper, the Halifax Gazette, was published in 1752. It was the first form of mass communication in Canada, which allowed Canadians to read a reliable source of news. Since then daily newspapers began to increase near the 1800's. By 1873, there were 47 published newspapers in Canada. Newspapers were a great invention presented to people in the 1750s and on, they were more reliable than spoken word, and news from abroad came quicker and more accurately.
