The Vividata Fall 2020 results show The Globe and Mail continues to be the leader in national weekly print and digital readership. The study covers Vividata’s 12-month major market rolling database from July 2019 to June 2020.
“These results confirm that as the pandemic hit, Canadians were turning to The Globe for steady and accurate information and insights about COVID and what it meant for Canada, our economy, and our lives,” says Phillip Crawley, Publisher and CEO of The Globe and Mail. “The Globe became a daily habit for Canadians trying to make sense of this new world, and continues to be so.”
The period covered by the survey also includes The Globe’s award-winning investigations into the SNC-Lavalin affair and the BC/Western Canada manhunt.
