Description: An oral history of the slow, sad decline of a once-mighty daily newspaper, in book form for the first time.
For more than a century, the Calgary Herald was the heartbeat of Alberta’s largest city, reflecting—and reinforcing—the mores and values of Calgary itself. Other news outlets have come and gone, but no local publication had the power, influence, and longevity of the Herald. As the 21st century arrived, however, so did a number of threats: increasingly aggressive owners, awkward consolidations and mergers, and, of course, the internet. As the transition to digital brought the entire Canadian news industry to its knees, the Herald came right down with it.
Jeremy Klaszus’s The Hollowing of the Calgary Herald is a thoughtful and clear-eyed account of what happens when a big-city newspaper of record slowly crumbles. It is also, unfortunately, a story that is being repeated all across North America. Calgary could be your city, too, if it isn’t already.
