Talk:24 Hours (newspaper)

Format section removed

I have removed the following section as it appears to be uncite-able, firsthand observances.

Format

Most 24 Hours were published 5 days a week (Monday to Friday) in a 460 mm × 282 mm compact format that is smaller than a tabloid (about 58% the size of a tabloid). Because its target readers are commuters heading to work, it was not published on weekends or statutory holidays, although the Vancouver edition previously provided a digital "Online Weekend Edition". Vancouver 24 Hours' print publication measures 270 mm x 330 mm, which is slightly smaller than other markets. The paper averaged about 32 pages per issue, slightly less than half being news, and relied heavily upon wire services such as Reuters, the Canadian Press and the Associated Press. [citation needed] The rest of the pages covered lifestyle, travel, entertainment, sports, and the like.

Exact copies of most editions were also available on their official web site. Vancouver and Montreal both operate full websites. Vancouver 24 Hours presented a wide variety of videos and podcasts. In total Vancouver 24 Hours independent news room accounted for c. 50% of the news content in the day to day publications. [citation needed] The Montreal edition also includes a weekly entertainment insert, ici Week-end; until April 30, 2009, ici was its own publication, distributed separately.

24 Hours' primary national competition was the free paper Metro. P.J. Harston was the founding editor-in-chief of both 24 Hours and Metro.

Split

I think it would be a good idea to split this article into a few dabbed pages so that the specifics of each can be focused on. See the circulation figures for each. John Vandenberg 12:06, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Official name is (Uppercase) Hour or (lowercase) hour?

Looking at their website(s) at http://24hrs.ca/ they use the lowercase h, not just in their logo but in their written text. This occurs about half the time. e.g. http://toronto.24hrs.ca/ uses the HTML "<title>24 Hours Toronto</title>" but has links like "24 hours Media Kit" e.g. http://toronto.24hrs.ca/ContactUs/home.html and http://toronto.24hrs.ca/ContactUs/home.html writes "Toronto 24 hours is published Monday to Friday and distributed free by Sun Media Corporation". If one downloads it in a pdf e.g. http://24hrs.ca/ottawa/cover.pdf they seem to be using the lowercase "24 hours" exclusively. Ewlyahoocom 05:52, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Montreal 24heures 01 11 mars 2005.png

Image:Montreal 24heures 01 11 mars 2005.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Moved unhelpful sentence here

At the bottom of the summary, there is (or was, after I remove it) an unhelpful, unquantifiable, and non-monotone sentence: "Also recently the newspaper logo has changed" It was from an edit on September 22 2022, and so I looked through the IA to see what time "recently" was. "Recently" appears to be between these two IA snapshots: https://web.archive.org/web/20210126050901/https://www.24heures.ca/ and https://web.archive.org/web/20210204143201/https://www.24heures.ca/, which are from January 26 and Febuary 4 of 2021, almost two years before the "recently" edit ocurred.

If anyone can find a definite date for the logo change, please add it. 172.59.185.162 (talk) 12:50, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

I found the date (from journal de montreal/24 heures: https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2021/02/04/le-24-heures-fait-peau-neuve), and am adding it.
