In print for 165 years, The Globe and Mail has consistently delivered Canada's best and deepest coverage of national, international and business news.

The paper is a daily must-read for Canadians who want to know about the essential issues, facts and opinions that affect our world. With a cumulative six-day readership total of just over 2,600,000, The Globe and Mail enjoys a wide--and a highly loyal--readership.*



Statistics bear this out. Seventy-five per cent of our current subscriber base has been with us for more than two years; many of them for much longer. What's more, our annual subscriber churn (the amount of subscribers who do not renew in a given year) is considered to be much lower than the industry standard.

The most recent ABC Audit Report for the 12 months ending Sept. 30, 2009, shows The Globe and Mail firing on all cylinders. In just about every category--weekdays and Saturdays, in Toronto and nearly every major market in Canada--The Globe trounces the other national daily.

Advertisers also appreciate that, rather than relying on bulk subscriptions to boost numbers as some Canadian newspapers do, The Globe is committed to delivering a quality readership willing to pay for a quality product.

Canada's Most Sought-After Demographic
Globe and Mail readers include the key decision-makers of Canadian households, businesses and governments--individuals whose appetite for news and views is only satisfied by The Globe's critical look at what has or is about to happen--and how these events will affect their lives. The Globe is the essential "morning read" in Ottawa, on Bay Street and across the country, regardless of whether readers are seated in the executive suite or at the breakfast table.

A blue-chip brand whose credibility is unchallenged, The Globe is universally recognized as Canada's newspaper of record. In fact:
  • No other Canadian paper is more relied on, quoted or courted for its news coverage. This kind of authority confers an independent "stamp of approval" to the credibility of ads that appear among the paper's content.
  • Other news media, not just newspapers but also TV and radio stations, use The Globe to help set their own news agendas for the day. Clearly, it's not just readers but also our competitors who consider The Globe Canada's No. 1 news source.
  • With more foreign bureaus than any other Canadian news source, The Globe is on the ground when stories break, able to report faster and more accurately than newspapers that rely heavily on wire services. It's this kind of reporting that's earned our readers' loyalty--and loyal readers translate into more frequent exposures for advertisers' messages.
  • The Globe offers balanced perspectives and competing points of view so that readers can make the smartest, most-informed decisions about issues. Readers of The Globe's content are truly engaged with our articles and analysis--and in a receptive frame of mind when they take in adjacent advertising.
An Ideal Way to Reach Canada's Most Coveted Audience
