A Globe History The history of The Globe begins in Toronto in 1843 with the arrival of George Brown, a tall, angular Edinburgh Scot of 25. He had come to North America in 1837 with his father, and helped the family run the British Chronicle in New York, an antislavery paper directed at British immigrants. It was while drumming up circulation for the Chronicle that Brown visited Toronto and, sensing a fertile market, persuaded his father to dispose of the New York paper and move to Toronto with him.... ..... In 1980, The Globe and Mail became Canada’s first space-age newspaper. It printed a national edition in Montreal, including general news, features and Report on Business, with the contents transmitted from the main publishing centre in Toronto to the Montreal printing plant via the Anik satellite. Since then, additional satellite printing plants have been established across the country, permitting rapid same-day distribution of the newspaper in the 10 provinces and the two territories. In 1985, The Globe and Mail entered the consumer magazine field in a major way with the publication of Report on Business Magazine, a high-quality colour magazine distributed with the newspaper. This was soon joined by other Globe magazines covering a variety of fields. The Globe and Mail underwent a major redesign in 1990, both graphically and editorially, beginning with the issue dated June 12. It was as part of this redesign that the newspaper’s editorial style book was completely revised and first published in its current form, and that The Globe produced its first visual style guide. In both 1995 and 1996, the Society of Newspaper Design named The Globe and Mail the World's Best Designed Newspaper ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
