On October 14, Canada government announced a $12-million investment to extend the Canada Periodical Fund’s Special Measures for Journalism component for this fiscal year (2025–26).
This will help non-daily community newspapers and magazine publishers—especially those using a free distribution model or those with a smaller paid circulation—continue to overcome market disadvantages so they can continue to produce quality Canadian editorial and journalistic content, regardless of the platform used to offer it.
Since its launch in 2020, the Special Measures for Journalism component has invested more than $100 million in Canadian publishers with free distribution and smaller paid circulations so they can adapt to major industry shifts and meet the evolving needs of readers.
This temporary component of the Canada Periodical Fund has supported more than 600 recipients annually in their areas of greatest need, such as content creation, production, distribution or business development.
