The Temiskaming Speaker
The Temiskaming Speaker is a local newspaper serving Temiskaming Shores, a city in the Timiskaming District in Northeastern Ontario, Canada.[1][2][3]
History
[edit]The Temiskaming Speaker was founded by E. F. and A. E. Stephenson, a father-and-son duo, as the New Liskeard Speaker in 1906.[4][5] They published the newspaper weekly until 1938, when C. E. Bond purchased it.[4] Then, it was placed under the Temiskaming Printing Company and renamed to The Temiskaming Speaker.[4] The newspaper refused to give coverage to politicians and asked them to purchase it as an advertisement in the 1930s.[6]
In 1962, the Haileyburian and Cobalt Weekly Post were merged with the Speaker.[4] In the 1970s, A. J. Wright took ownership and appointed Don Curry the editor.[4]
In 2003, The Temiskaming Printing Company and Cold North Wind Inc. created a digital archive for The Temiskaming Speaker.[7]
The Haileyburian
[edit]The Haileyburian was founded on 23 September 1904 by C.C. Far, the founder of Haileybury, as the town's first newspaper.[8] It was initially called the Haileyburian & Temiskaming Mining Journal.[8] The offices of the newspaper were destroyed twice in town-wide fires in Haileybury, including the Great Fire of 1922.[8] The Haileyburian restarted printing in April 1923 from a streetcar on Broadway Street in Haileybury.[8] The copies of the newspaper are preserved in a digital archive.[9]
