Notes
a. Note:   HI1
Note:   (Research):Southam, William, newspaper publisher (b near Montr�al 23 Aug 1843; d at Hamilton 27 Feb 1932). He was a typical 19th-century printer-publisher who lived to see a modern newspaper chain bearing the name he shared with the 6 sons who were the instruments of his dream. Southam had spent years on the London Free Press when, in 1877, he and a partner took over the ailing Hamilton Spectator, hoping a return to Conservative government in Ottawa would improve its health; it did. Despite comparatively low start-up costs, he continued to buy existing dailies rather than begin his own, acquiring the Ottawa Citizen, Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, Windsor Star and Montr�al Gazette. Subsequent diversification into broadcasting, magazines and business publications has not prevented Southam Inc, now a subsidiary of Hollinger International Inc, from retaining a high-quality and devoutly Conservative flavour traceable to its founder's influence.
