Canadian Association of Newspaper Editors - a brief history
The Canadian Association of Newspaper Editors (CANE)
was created in 1999 when members of the 51-year-old Canadian Managing
Editors Conference (CMEC) voted to change the name of their association
and broaden its mandate to become a resource for newspapers editors in
Canada.
Unlike its predecessor, which existed only to hold an annual conference
and largely appealed only to a newsroom's senior editor (ie., managing
editor), CANE promises to provide a year-round support organization for
anyone who serves an editor in a newsroom with responsibility for
staffing and content.
