Southam Inc was an influential media company and news agency in Canada.
Company founder William Southam started as a paper boy for the London Free Press and eventually went on to acquire many prominent daily newspapers in Canada such as the Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, Ottawa Citizen, The Province and Winnipeg Tribune under Southam Inc.
The company was sold to Hollinger Inc. in 1996 and was eventually broken up and sold to media conglomerate Canwest.
Many former Southam newspapers are now owned by Postmedia Network Inc. [1]
