- Description:
- The daily press serves a function which is greater than the mere dissemination of objective news reports. By analysing the Beauharnois Power project one can gain some insight into the manner in which the national newspapers helped to shape the Canadian political and economic fabric during the period that the nation was industrializing. The press, in its self-appointed role as the disciple of economic expansion and the defender of the national welfare, served as an influential conservative force in the Canadian community.
