<jats:p> On the last day of April, this year, we met the man who made a singular contribution to Canadian journalism twenty-nine years ago in Winnipeg. Short-lived as that achievement was it has served as a model that may be re-created in the not-too-distant future. The man was Harry Ferns, who with Harry and Jean Crowe and others, founded the Winnipeg Citizen, a full-sized daily paper that lasted from March 1, 1948, until April 13, 1949, Its singularity is that it was Canada's first co-operatively owned daily paper. (Ferns was then teaching at United College, Winnipeg and is now a professor at the University of Birmingham). </jats:p> |
