Macleans New Canadian News Magazine Expands Quickly
Canada ushers in its first native news weekly with Maclean s a twice monthly edition based in Toronto. Editors aim to rival Time and Newsweek, relying on a Canadian angle and foreign dispatches. Legislation in Parliament could sink the venture by removing tax breaks on Canadian ads in Time and others. Time says loss of revenue could shutter its Canadian edition. About 750,000 readers have evaluated the new magazine, which sold out its first issue and drew mixed reviews.
