Ottawa Citizen – 661,039 – English
The Ottawa Citizen is a daily newspaper in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, owned by Postmedia Network. It was started in 1845 as The Bytown Packet and later changed its name to the Citizen in 1851. Initially founded by William Harris, it had different owners over the years. Under different owners, its editorial stance shifted, from being reform-minded under Harris to conservative under Robert Bell. Later, it became part of the Southam family of newspapers, leaning left politically. The ownership of the newspaper changed again when Conrad Black’s Hollinger Inc. acquired the Southam chain, but in 2000, most of Hollinger’s Canadian holdings were sold to CanWest Global. Over time, the Citizen’s editorial position fluctuated, aligning with different political parties. It endorsed the Conservative Party of Canada in the 2006 federal election. In 2012, the Ottawa Citizen stopped publishing its Sunday edition as part of cost-cutting measures by Postmedia, resulting in job losses. The newspaper’s logo has also changed, from showing the top of the Peace Tower to a new design featuring the paper’s name over an outline of the Peace Tower roof on a green background.
