History
changeThe Globe was founded in 1844 by Scottish immigrant George Brown. He was a Father of Confederation.
By the 1850s, The Globe had become a well-known daily newspaper.
The Globe and Mail formed when The Globe merged with another newspaper called The Mail and Empire in 1936.[7]
Since the 1980s, the newspaper has been printed in six Canadian cities: Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver.
At the end of 2010, the Thomson family, bought The Globe and Mail with an 85-percent stake.[8][9]
In October 2012, The Globe and Mail launched online.[10]
Notes
change- ↑ Brown founded the earliest predecessor to The Globe and Mail, The Globe. The Toronto Mail was another predecessor newspaper founded by Thomas Patteson. The Empire was another predecessor newspaper founded by John A. Macdonald. The merger of The Globe and The Mail and Empire was arranged by George McCullagh and was financed by William Henry Wright.
- ↑ The following date was when The Globe published its first edition. The Globe later merged with The Mail and Empire to form The Globe and Mail on 23 November 1936.
