Encyclopedia
Newswest is a community publication serving a number of communities within Canada's National Capital Region
. Newswest is a wholly Canadian publication and not related to the 1980s U.S. newspaper NewsWest, previously owned by Tab Communications
.
Newswest was founded in 1978 and is one of the longest surviving community newspapers in Ottawa. It operates as a non-profit corporation and is published 12 times a year inside Kitchissippi Times with a circulation of well over 16,000 copies. The inclusion of Newswest in Kitchissippi Times began in 2003 after an agreement on advertising revenue was reached between the 2 papers. Since that time Kitchissippi Times handles all advertising allowing Newswest to focus on its non-profit community content. Kitchissippi Times is published 20 times per year so the editors of the 2 papers share responsibility on things like the Community Calendar section.
Newswest covers the area bordered (east to west) by the O-Train tracks and Woodroofe Avenue, and between the Ottawa River
and Carling Avenue
. This area includes the neighborhoods of Mechanicsville
, Hintonburg
, Champlain Park, West Wellington, Hampton Park, Westboro Beach, Westboro, Highland Park, McKellar Park
, Carlingwood and the Civic Hospital
.
Most of the articles to Newswest are provided by local volunteer writers and photographers. Additionally, columns from the local representatives for 3 levels of government and the public school board appear regularly.
The current editor of Newswest is Anne Duggan.
