The Ottawa Journal was a daily broadsheet newspaper published in Ottawa , Ontario , Canada , from 1885 to 1980.
It was founded in 1885 by A. Woodburn as the Ottawa Evening Journal .[1] Its first editor was John Wesley Dafoe who came from the Winnipeg Free Press . In 1886, it was bought by Philip Dansken Ross .
The paper began publishing a morning edition in 1917. In 1919, the paper's publishers bought the Ottawa Free Press , whose former owner, E. Norman Smith , then became editor with Grattan O'Leary .[citation needed ]
In 1959, it was bought by F.P. Publications . By then, the Journal , whose readers tended to come from rural areas, was trailing the Ottawa Citizen , its main competitor. The paper encountered labour problems in the 1970s and never really recovered.[citation needed ]
In 1980, it was bought by Thomson Newspapers and was closed on 27 August 1980. That left Southam Newspapers 's Ottawa Citizen as the only major English-language newspaper in Ottawa[2] (Le Droit remaining the only French-language daily newspaper in Ottawa).[citation needed ]
The closure aroused considerable controversy since a day later, Southam closed the Winnipeg Tribune , the primary rival to Thomson's Winnipeg Free Press . Concern over both incidents prompted the Government of Canada to conduct the Royal Commission on Newspapers , commonly known as the Kent Commission.[2]
To many, it seemed that possibly-illegal collusion to reduce competition had occurred. Charges were brought against both Southam and Thomson in April 1981 under the now-defunct Combines Investigation Act that alleged a breach of section 33 by merger or monopolistic conduct, but they were dismissed on 9 December 1983.[3]
Ottawa went without a second major newspaper until the debut of the Ottawa Sun in 1988.[4]
The paper's politics were generally regarded as conservative .[5]
