The Chronicle-Journal Newspaper Information

The Chronicle-Journal is the daily newspaper in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. Unlike many Canadian newspapers, it does not use the city's name in its masthead. The paper has an average weekday circulation of 28,100. The paper is owned by Continental Newspapers Canada Ltd.

The Chronicle-Journal's name is a combination of the names of the Daily Times-Journal of Fort William and the News-Chronicle of Port Arthur. In 1972, after the amalgamation of Port Arthur and Fort William in the city of Thunder Bay, the newspapers merged and became the morning daily Chronicle-Journal and evening daily Times-News. The newspaper relocated to its current building in 1977. On April 17, 1996, publication of the evening Times-News ceased. David Radler is the principal owner of Continental Newspapers, which includes The Chronicle-Journal. Since early 2006, the newspaper's editorial staff has shrunk from 23 employees to its current level, of 14 or 15. At one point, the newspaper's editorial department only had one reporter working in the entire city of Thunder Bay.
