On October 14, 2025, Canadian Heritage announced an additional 1-year support to strengthen local and diverse journalism. Consult this news release to learn more.
The Special Measures for Journalism component of the Canada Periodical Fund provides financial support to Canadian publishers of print magazines and print community (non-daily) newspapers, to enable them to overcome market disadvantages. The Fund ensures Canadians have access to diverse Canadian editorial content in print magazines and community newspapers.
Please note that neither daily newspapers nor magazine or community newspaper titles currently receiving Aid to Publishers — Canada Periodical Fund funding are eligible under this component.
Digital periodicals are not eligible for funding under the Special Measures for Journalism component. However, they may be eligible under the Aid to Publishers — Canada Periodical Fund component, for which separate guidelines apply.
