These aren’t exactly great times to be in the news business. Newspapers, in particular, have been suffering with rapidly shrinking ad revenue, especially in the United States. Total advertising sales in 2011 were half – yes, half! – of what they were in 2005, according to data complied by the Newspaper Association of America. It’s not surprising, then, that more than 3,700 layoffs were reported at newspapers across the U.S. last year, up from the 2,900 layoffs in 2010.

How did the newswire service find out about this? Through an Access to Information request, of course.

A happy new year it isn’t for friends and family of Canadians who were killed suddenly in the waning days of 2011. A couple of high-profile avalanche deaths in British Columbia on Dec. 29 and Dec. 30, in particular, grabbed national headlines, as these types of fatalities tend to do. There were, however, many more families whose lives were forever altered by the unexpected death of a loved one, including the family of the 43-year-old man from Edmonton who was killed in a car crash just east of Jasper on Dec. 30.

Children’s Christmas wishes are usually pretty light and fluffy in nature. Toys and candy tend to top their lists, and understandably so. The whole holiday, despite its religious roots, has become quite a commercial affair. “Getting ready for Christmas” usually tends to be dominated by the whole business of gift buying, gift making, gift wrapping, and gift exchanging.
