Some obvious differences between newspapers today and the newspapers back then are, the newspapers back then had a different font and they had less information on them. The newspapers today have more pictures, ads, and more important information. The newspapers today are bigger and more up to date than the newspapers back then. Today's newspapers have colored pictures and the newspapers back the didn't even have pictures.
I think that the reason that today's newspapers are still published even though they are critical is because the government doesn't have a very big say in what gets published or not. I think that the government doesn't have a big say in what gets published or not because they only care about the information that is getting published in the newspapers that are about them. If the information doesn't concern them they allow the newspaper company to publish them. They kinda monitor what gets published, if its not appropriate they will not let it get published.
I was kinda surprised to find out that the first newspaper in Canada was in Halifax. Halifax is a big city now and was back then too. I was expecting the first newspaper in Canada to be in Ontario or Ottawa, somewhere where the city is huge and filled with important news. Halifax seemed like a place where the news wouldn't be all that important, but as it turns out Halifax had some news to tell.
