To mark the paper's 180th anniversary, \u003ci\u003eGlobe\u003c\/i\u003e writers explored thirty issues and events in which the national newspaper has influenced the course of the country: Confederation, settler migrations, regional tensions, tussles over language, religion, and race. The essays reveal a tapestry of progress, conflict, and still-incomplete reconciliation: Catholic-Protestant hostilities that are now mostly the stuff of memory; the betrayal of Indigenous peoples with which we still grapple; the frustrations and triumphs of women journalists; pandemics old and new; environmental challenges; the joys of covering sports and the arts; chronicling the nation's business, international coverage, the impossibility of Canada and of this newspaper, which both somehow flourish nonetheless. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Riveting, insightful, disturbing, witty, and always a joy to read, \u003ci\u003eA Nation's Paper\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles a country and a newspaper that have grown and struggled together - essential reading for anyone who wants to understand where we came from and where we are going. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Globe and Mail\u003c\/i\u003e will donate all its proceeds from the book to Journalists for Human Rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Ibbitson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0771006284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780771006289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Signal Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.50w x 1.30d","brand":"John Ibbitson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46250628055295,"sku":"9780771006289","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3a80f53d-51ae-4bad-8adb-323fa3c22c3e.jpg?v=1729600917","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-nations-paper-john-ibbitson-9780771006289","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
