Whitehorse Star
The Whitehorse Star is one of two newspapers in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. When founded in 1900 it appeared only once a week, and its progress to Monday through Friday publication occurred in fits and starts; it was issued twice a week for a time, and then three times a week in the 1960s, five times a week in around 19801983, three times a week in around 19831986 and five times a week thereafter. It is presently an afternoon newspaper, usually available after 3 p.m.; its cover price is $1.00. The "Star"'s official motto, ""Illegitimus non Carborundum , is a Dog Latin aphorism meaning "You mustn't let the bastards grind you down". The motto is incorporated into the newspaper's logo, and is displayed on its website. Flo Whyard, who has served as the Mayor of Whitehorse, is among the newspaper's former editors.
