Article Abstract:
The newspaper wars experienced by Britain's national newspapers 'The Times,' 'Daily Telegraph' and 'Mirror' have spread to Canada due to the birth of the national paper 'National Post.' The newspaper brought tension in the market causing other newspapers like 'The Globe And Mail' and 'Toronto Star' to improve their designs, pages, sections and staff.
