It's a Small Circ World After All

Good news for those small to mid-size print and digital periodical publications previously excluded from the Canada Periodical Fund because of small circulation numbers.

The Canada Periodical Fund has just launched its Business Innovation Applicant's guide. This component offers project funding to eligible small and mid-sized print and digital periodical publishers. It encourages innovation to adapt to changing market conditions and contributes to the diversity of content sought by Canadian readers. Visit the AMPA website for further details.
