REIMAGINE YOUR NEWS
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
fully reimagined newsmedia brand—the new Saskatoon StarPhoenix.
Research
In 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 newsmedia products
that speak to our different audiences in new ways.
Storytelling
For over 110 years, the Saskatoon StarPhoenix has focused on local news and local audiences. With this
revolutionary redesign the Saskatoon StarPhoenix continues to do so in compelling and innovative ways.
Utilizing the unique characteristics of each platform, and driven by our research, the Saskatoon
StarPhoenix is customizing the storytelling experience for audiences by platform.
Product Development
Postmedia has created differentiated, distinctive and dynamic products 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 Saskatoon StarPhoenix with elegant and engaging print, web,
smartphone and tablet products.

A BOLD TRANSFORMATION
With a bold transformation and a complete reimagining of newsmedia, the Saskatoon StarPhoenix
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 Saskatoon StarPhoenix’s content reaches 178,000 weekly print and digital readers*. For over 110
years the Saskatoon StarPhoenix has been Saskatoon’s choice for news and information, keeping
readers informed with in-depth analysis and context. With revitalized products across four platforms,
readers will engage with stories differently, on different platforms, at different times throughout the day.
Conceptual Redesign
The redesigned Saskatoon StarPhoenix masthead combines the classic
newspaper nameplate with an abstract representation of Saskatoon’s
most distinguishing feature, a bend in the South Saskatchewan river.
The river is the heart of the city and the new logo embraces its
prominence in the community. Inspired by the Saskatoon berry, the
new masthead is rendered in shades of purple and reinforces our
connection to the city and unifies our print, web, smartphone and
tablet platforms.

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

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

Audience Buying Solutions
Behavioural
Your customers’ 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.
Retargeting
Sometimes 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.

stop to that kind of thing by troublesome judges who feel their independence,” 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 invited a lawyer to make a constitutional 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.

Tory law that doubled surcharge
for victims not being enforced
o t ta W a C I t I Z e n
Ottawa judges are openly rebelling
against a Conservative government
law that doubled a surcharge intended to help victims and made
them mandatory for anyone convicted 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 thumbing 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
