Canadian Catholic News (CCN) is a co-operative news service that serves Catholic media across Canada. Its mission is to provide a comprehensive and accurate portrayal of the Catholic Church's activities and initiatives nationwide. By uniting Catholic media, CCN aims to present stories about the Church, Catholics, and issues affecting them in Canada accurately and informatively. [1]
Efforts to foster collaboration among Canadian Catholic newspapers began in the 1970s when the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) initiated discussions to encourage cooperation between French- and English-language publications. These discussions laid the groundwork for what would later become CCN.
The 1984 visit of Pope John Paul II to Canada was a pivotal moment. Catholic newspapers collaborated to cover the papal visit, marking the first coordinated effort to share news nationally. This initiative highlighted the need for a formal news-sharing network. CCN was officially established in May 1988 with several founding newspapers joining the co-operative.
Over the decades, CCN has embraced technological advancements, transitioning from manual typewriters and mail to computers, email, and a secure internal website for story sharing. Key milestones in its history include:
As of November 2024, CCN remains a vital resource for Catholic news in Canada. Collaborating with various Catholic media organizations, CCN ensures its coverage reflects the diverse perspectives within the Catholic community. Its journalistic integrity is evident in reporting that seeks to inform and engage readers on issues significant to the Catholic faith.
In addition to reporting, CCN supports educational initiatives. For example, it offers courses like Telling Truth in Charity, which emphasizes ethical reporting aligned with Catholic values. These courses aim to cultivate a new generation of journalists dedicated to meaningful discourse on Catholic topics in Canada. [3]
Looking ahead, CCN has outlined several strategic goals:
These efforts aim to ensure the relevance of Catholic journalism in an increasingly digital world, while also improving resource sharing and operational efficiency across Catholic media. [4]

Canadian online media is content aimed at a Canadian audience through the medium of the Internet. Presently, online media can be accessed by computers, smart-phones, gaming consoles, Smart TVs, MP3 players, and tablets. The characteristics of Canadian online media are strongly shaped by the Canadian communications industry, even though their statistics and findings are more often than not associated with American research. Large media companies are increasingly on the move to start up online platforms for news and television content. The exponential growth of Canadians' dependency on online content for entertainment and information has been evident in the recent decades. However, it has proven slow for Canadian online media to catch up with the constant increase of American online media.
