Win Your Own Publication!

Tara de Ryk, publisher for The Davidson Leader, invites budding journalists and entrepreneurs to enter the Win Your Own Publication contest.

Have you ever thought of owning your own newspaper?

The Davidson Leader has been providing the voice of Davidson, Saskatchewan for 116 years. The current owner is retiring from the community newspaper industry for personal reasons and wants to make sure that the tradition of the newspaper and the support of the community continues.

Rather than selling, the owners have decided to give something back to the community. So, The Davidson Leader has decided to hold a contest to find a new owner that is passionate about carrying on the tradition of a great community newspaper. The prize? The winner will become the new owner and publisher of The Davidson Leader, a 1200+ paid circulation newspaper situated south of Saskatoon on the number 11 highway.

What’s the catch?

No catch. The winner of the contest will win the newspaper for the total cost of $1. Turn-key, ready to start and continue from January 1, 2020. 

How to enter:

Write a short editorial (500-word max.) on why you would be the perfect fit to take over this well-established newspaper business.

One entry per entrant. All entries must be submitted by email by December 13, 2019.
