The annual revenue survey provides a high-level overview of the health of the community newspaper industry for both advertising and circulation revenues. Community newspapers in every province were asked to participate in the survey in order to provide a snapshot of the industry for member and non-member publications, independent and corporate publications as well as English and French language publications.
