A 1903 article in the '' Pacific Monthly'' described the ''Province'' as the largest and the youngest of Vancouver's important newspapers. In 1923, the Southam family bought ''The Province''. By 1945 the paper's printers went out on strike. ''The Province'' had been the best selling newspaper in Vancouver, ahead of the '' Vancouver Sun'' and '' News Herald''. As a result of the six-week strike, it lost significant market share, at one point falling to third place. ...

Newspaper Circulation
Print circulation is the average number of copies of a publication. The number of copies of a non-periodical publication (such as a book) are usually called print run. Circulation is not always the same as copies sold, often called paid circulation, since some issues are distributed without cost to the reader. Readership figures are usually higher than circulation figures because of the assumption that a typical copy is read by more than one person. Concept Print circulation is a good proxy measure of print readership and is thus one of the principal factors used to set print advertising rates (prices). In many countries, circulations are audited by independent bodies such as the Audit Bureau of Circulations to assure advertisers that a given newspaper does reach the number of people claimed by the publisher. There are international open access directories such as ''Mondo Times'', but these generally rely on numbers reported by newspapers themselves. World newspapers with ...
