The Canadian Press
Playing an essential role in the development of Canadian identity, The Canadian Press is wholly dependent on leased telegraphic lines in order to send stories back and forth across the country to their vast number of readers"." With the arrival of radio &amp; television, The Canadian Press created Broadcast News (BN) in 1954, a subsidiary that delivers text specifically written for broadcasters. In the 1960s, BN began providing audio in the form of voice reports and sound clips. In 1979, it added network newscasts for subscribing stations.
