2016 MEDIA KITCALGARYHERALD.COM
Postmedia has invested significantly in research, technology, storytelling and product development
over the past three years. With your audiences and our audiences in mind, we are proud to unveil the
fully reimagined news media brand —the new Calgary Herald.
ResearchIn 2013, with our research partners Ipsos Canada, we surveyed over 17,000 adult Canadians on their
behaviours and preferences in consuming news and information on smartphones, tablets, websites
and in print. This proprietary study provided us with unparalleled insights into the media consumption
habits of Canadian audiences. We have used these insights to create a suite of news media products
that speak to our different audiences in new ways.
StorytellingFor over 130 years the Calgary Herald has focused on local news and local audiences. With this
revolutionary redesign the Calgary Herald continues to do so in compelling and innovative ways.
Utilizing the unique characteristics of each platform, and driven by our research, the Calgary Herald
is customizing the storytelling experience for audiences by platform.
Product DevelopmentPostmedia has created differentiated, distinctive and dynamic products across our four platforms to
connect with more audiences, in more meaningful ways, more times throughout the day. Leveraging
experts in user-experience and design, Postmedia reimagined the new Calgary Herald with elegant
and engaging print, web, smartphone and tablet products.

2016 MEDIA KITCALGARYHERALD.COM
A BOLD TRANSFORMATIONWith a bold transformation and a complete reimagining of news media, the Calgary Herald has
changed how it creates and delivers content to audiences. This new approach focuses primarily
on local news and platform-driven storytelling to bring the right audiences at the right time to
our advertisers.
The Calgary Herald’s content reaches half-a-million residents of Canada’s energy capital each week.
For over 130 years the Calgary Herald has been Calgary’s choice for news and information, keeping
readers informed with in-depth analysis and context. With revitalized products across all four
platforms, readers will engage with stories differently, on different platforms, at different times
throughout the day.
Conceptual RedesignThe newspaper’s redesigned masthead combines the original
nameplate with a symbolic version of Calgary’s iconic mountain
skyline. Capturing the deep blue of our prairie skies, the masthead
is a fresh, instantly recognizable design element that will carry
across print, web, smartphone and tablet platforms.

information with powerful insight and analysis for a distinctive, differentiated and dynamic experience
on every platform.

compelling reader experience. Unique advertising opportunities are available for print, web, smartphone
and tablet to give brands extensive options for unique engagement with their target markets.

Standard Targeting
Audience Buying SolutionsBehavioural Your customer’s interests are diverse, but marketers can capture the right audience even outside traditional
segments. Behavioural targeting allows advertisers to deliver relevant ads to specific audience segments based on
behaviour and interests. This form of cookie-based targeting uses historical user preference and parameters
to serve ads to users based on their online activity.
RetargetingSometimes consumers don’t convert right away. That’s why we offer retargeting opportunities to drive your
customers through the conversion funnel. Retargeting allows us to tag users and advertise to them again,
after they have expressed interest in your brand.

Ottawa judges are openly rebelling against a Conservative government law that doubled a surcharge in-tended to help victims and made them mandatory for anyone con-victed of a crime, giving offenders up to 60 years to pay the fine or — in one case — not ordering it at all.
Judges are essentially thumb-ing their noses at the new law, made mandatory on Oct. 24, that removed the court’s discretion to waive the fee if the person couldn’t afford to pay it. The change was part of the Conservative government’s Increasing Offenders Accountabil-ity for Victims Act, and followed complaints by victims’ rights ad-vocates that judges were waiving the surcharge too freely.
“I’m told it is fully automatic, that these troublesome judges have been relieving against it and not charging it, so the government likes to put a
stop to that kind of thing by trouble-some judges who feel their inde-pendence,” Ontario Court Justice Peter Coulson said after sentencing a crack addict who had stolen seven chocolate bars to eight days in jail. “I have ruled that he not have to pay the Victim Fine Surcharge. Let the chips fall where they may.
“The bureaucrats may feel that it happens anyway no matter what the judge says,” said Coulson.
That same day, another judge in-vited a lawyer to make a constitu-tional challenge to the new law.
The 31-year-old man, who had just pleaded guilty to stealing a bottle of rum from the LCBO, had no means to pay the $100 victim fine surcharge, said his lawyer.
“If I granted him 50 years to pay that victim fine surcharge, would that appropriately reflect the ends of justice?” asked the judge.
“Did you say 50 years?” asked the federal prosecutor to laughter.

The NCC doesn’t know enough about local affairs and is getting in the way of progress, the mayors of Ottawa and Gatineau charged Wednesday, and putting them on its board is their solution.
After their first formal meeting since Gatineau’s Maxime Pedne-aud-Jobin was elected last fall, he and Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson emerged with a list of grievances, from “relentless obstruction in the City of Ottawa’s efforts to create a world-class transit system for the National Capital Region” to the “unilateral decision to close Rue Gamelin” in Gatineau. They signed it and sent it to Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper, demanding reforms that should start with adding an elected official from each city coun-cil to the 15-member NCC board.
John Baird, the minister respon-sible for the commission, gave the idea a chilly reception.
