Hello,
my name is Susan and I'm a student from Germany.
I'm looking for information about Canadian newspapers because I'd like to
compare the language used in different up-market, mid-market and
down-market papers.
If you think you have some information for me (names of newspapers and
knowledge if they are quality papers or tabloids ,etc.) and you are looking
for something similar, too, perhaps we can share what we know !?!

I addition it would be very helpful for my studies if everyone from Canada
who reads this could answer the following short questions:


1) age:

2) occupation:

3) sex:

4) Which Canadian papers do you read ?

5) Do you read them regularly (how often, roughly) ?


Thank you very much for your help !! yours SUSAN

1) age: 19

2) occupation: recently graduated from multimedia college

3) sex: female

4) Which Canadian papers do you read ?

- The Vancouver Sun (www.vancouversun.com)
- The Richmond Review
- The Richmond News
- The Georgia Straight (www.straight.com

5) Do you read them regularly (how often, roughly) ?

- The Richmond Review: 2 times a week (distributed twice a week in
Richmond, a Vancouver suburb).

- The Richmond News: 2 times a week (distributed twice a week in
Richmond, a Vancouver suburb).

- The Georgia Straight: I try to pick one up when it comes out once a
week, but I usually end up reading the same paper about 3 times a week.
(it's a weekly arts & entertainment paper in Vancouver).

- The National post: I tend to flip through it every morning (it's a
Canada-wide daily paper).

- The Province: Once a week (it's the only daily paper in BC that
prints on Sundays).

I hope this helps!
