Historique
The Canadian Press, Canada's principal news agency, is a co-operative owned by the major newspapers in the country. In 1910, Canadian Press Ltd. started redistributing news from The Associated Press to some Canadian newspapers via Morse code and telegraph wires. During the First World War in 1917, the Canadian Press was established as a means to bring back news from Canadian troops. It's services expanded as time went on, adding French language news in 1951, radio broadcasts in 1954, audio in 1960, network news in 1979, and internet news in 1997. There are Canadian Press offices in every major Canadian City, as well as in Washington, D.C, with its head office located in Toronto, Ontario.
