MEET THE NEW OTTAWA CITIZEN

2014 MEDIA KITOTTAWACITIZEN.COM

Postmedia has invested significantly in research, technology, storytelling and product development

over the past three years. With your audiences and our audiences in mind, we are proud to unveil the

first of our fully reimagined news media brands—the new Ottawa Citizen.

ResearchIn 2013, with our research partners Ipsos Canada, we surveyed over 17,000 adult Canadians on their

behaviours and preferences in consuming news and information on smartphones, tablets, websites

and in print. This proprietary study provided us with unparalleled insights into the media consumption

habits of Canadian audiences. We have used these insights to create a suite of news media products

that speak to our different audiences in new ways.

StorytellingFor nearly 170 years the Ottawa Citizen has focused on local news and local audiences. With this

revolutionary redesign the Ottawa Citizen continues to do so in compelling and innovative ways.

Utilizing the unique characteristics of each platform, and driven by our research, the Ottawa Citizen

is customizing the storytelling experience for audiences by platform.

Product DevelopmentPostmedia has created differentiated, distinctive and dynamic products across our four platforms to

connect with more audiences, in more meaningful ways, more times throughout the day. Leveraging

experts in user-experience and design, Postmedia reimagined the new Ottawa Citizen with elegant

and engaging print, web, smartphone and tablet products.

REIMAGINE YOUR NEWS

A BOLD TRANSFORMATIONWith a bold transformation and a complete reimagining of news media, the Ottawa Citizen has

changed how it creates and delivers content to audiences. This new approach focuses primarily

on local news and platform-driven storytelling to bring the right audiences at the right time to

our advertisers.

The Ottawa Citizen’s content reaches half-a-million residents of the National Capital Region each

week. For 170 years the Ottawa Citizen has been Ottawa’s choice for news and information, keeping

readers informed with in-depth analysis and context. With revitalized products across all four

platforms, readers will engage with stories differently, on different platforms, at different times

throughout the day.

Conceptual RedesignThe newspaper’s redesigned masthead combines the original

nameplate with an abstracted version of Parliament Hill’s iconic

Peace Tower. Rendered in sage green, similar to the tower’s

oxidized copper roof, the masthead is a fresh, instantly

recognizable design element that will carry across print,

web, smartphone and tablet platforms.

5

Postmedia has reinvented how local readers enjoy their news. Following extensive research on who reads

what on which platform, the Ottawa Citizen’s four-platform strategy connects readers to what they care

about most and is fully tailored to their reading habits. We continue to offer compelling news and

information with powerful insight and analysis for a distinctive, differentiated and dynamic experience

on every platform.

Advertisers can leverage massive reach or hyper-local audiences to build a captivating campaign for a

compelling reader experience. Unique advertising opportunities are available for print, web, smartphone

and tablet to give brands extensive options for unique engagement with their target markets.

Print readers have a deep emotional connection with their newspaper. Their daily morning routine

requires personal time to start their day knowing what’s happening in the world and in their city.

The Ottawa Citizen is their daily briefing on the happenings on the Hill and beyond, with engaging

storytelling and bold photography all contained within a fresh new design.

Primary Target Audience$HHI: $80K-$100K

DesignBeautifully redesigned and easily navigated, the new Ottawa Citizen newspaper provides a strong local

focus up front, with insights and analysis on the news that matters to readers.

The paper is a familiar experience for loyal readers, updated to an elegant new format that promotes

strong local content backed by a national and world file.

Print’s niche will be second-day headlines and analysis, the back-story, rather than breaking news.

New design formats have been created to tell stories in compelling ways and audience research will

help direct content selection.

Audience Targeting SolutionsBehavioural Your customer’s interests are diverse, but marketers can capture the right audience even outside traditional

segments. Behavioural targeting allows advertisers to deliver relevant ads to specific audience segments based on

behaviour and interests. This form of cookie-based targeting uses historical user preference and parameters

to serve ads to users based on their online activity.

RetargetingSometimes consumers don’t convert right away. That’s why we offer retargeting opportunities to drive your

customers through the conversion funnel. Retargeting allows us to tag users and advertise to them again,

after they have expressed interest in your brand.

Ottawa judges are openly rebelling against a Conservative government law that doubled a surcharge in-tended to help victims and made them mandatory for anyone con-victed of a crime, giving offenders up to 60 years to pay the fine or — in one case — not ordering it at all.

Judges are essentially thumb-ing their noses at the new law, made mandatory on Oct. 24, that removed the court’s discretion to waive the fee if the person couldn’t afford to pay it. The change was part of the Conservative government’s Increasing Offenders Accountabil-ity for Victims Act, and followed complaints by victims’ rights ad-vocates that judges were waiving the surcharge too freely.

“I’m told it is fully automatic, that these troublesome judges have been relieving against it and not charging it, so the government likes to put a

stop to that kind of thing by trouble-some judges who feel their inde-pendence,” Ontario Court Justice Peter Coulson said after sentencing a crack addict who had stolen seven chocolate bars to eight days in jail. “I have ruled that he not have to pay the Victim Fine Surcharge. Let the chips fall where they may.

“The bureaucrats may feel that it happens anyway no matter what the judge says,” said Coulson.

That same day, another judge in-vited a lawyer to make a constitu-tional challenge to the new law.

The 31-year-old man, who had just pleaded guilty to stealing a bottle of rum from the LCBO, had no means to pay the $100 victim fine surcharge, said his lawyer.

“If I granted him 50 years to pay that victim fine surcharge, would that appropriately reflect the ends of justice?” asked the judge.

“Did you say 50 years?” asked the federal prosecutor to laughter.

The NCC doesn’t know enough about local affairs and is getting in the way of progress, the mayors of Ottawa and Gatineau charged Wednesday, and putting them on its board is their solution.

After their first formal meeting since Gatineau’s Maxime Pedne-aud-Jobin was elected last fall, he and Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson emerged with a list of grievances, from “relentless obstruction in the City of Ottawa’s efforts to create a world-class transit system for the National Capital Region” to the “unilateral decision to close Rue Gamelin” in Gatineau. They signed it and sent it to Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper, demanding reforms that should start with adding an elected official from each city coun-cil to the 15-member NCC board.

John Baird, the minister respon-sible for the commission, gave the idea a chilly reception.
