Weekly Newspapers To Meet In Niagara Falls Nearly 2,000,000 weekly newspaper readers in Ontario will be represented at the first convention to be held by publishers and editors of weeklies in Niagara Falls in 20 years, On a recent visit here to arrange for the March, 1968, event at the Park Motor Ho- tel on Clifton Hill, Werden Leaven, secretary of the Ontario Weekly Newspapers Association, and association president A. Y. McLean, agreed that the gathering will be an important occasion in assessing the role and fu- ture of the weekly. "We consider the weekly to be an institution in the province, and the purpose of the convention is to see that it remains as such," said Mr. Leaven. "There has been quite an improvement in this type of publication during the past 10 years. and I think it is going to continue. This is reflected in the fact that they are being established in metropolitan and urbanized areas of cities served by dai- lies. "Weeklies have a sev- en-day life in the home, and are probably read more thor- oughly than other print me- dia." : Mr. McLean said the fut- ure looks bright for weeklies, their influence was spread: ing as fast as the mechanics of their prpoduction were changing. "Increasing num- bers of owners are changing from letterpress to offset production, and some are consolidating their publish. ing facilities and sharing a printing plant." Mr. McLean added that an: other purpose of the conven- tion is to bring editors and publishers together to hold workshops and discuss their mutual problems "in this fast-changing industry." There are about 270 week- lies in the province an esti- mated over-all circulation of 1,000,000 copies. Readership is 'based on 3.6 persons per copy. About 125 of the weekly publications are expected to be represented at the Park Hotel convention from March 7 to 10. Chairman will be David E. Scott, publisher of the Fort Erie Times-Review.
