     PROSPECTUS 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Eastern Graphic began publishing in 1963. Its prospectus 
     
     declared that it was to be "devoted to people, places and things 
     
     in Eastern P.E.I.," and that is the mandate which it has ful- 
     
     filled. Kings County news predominates in the paper, with some 
     
     ‘provincial news included. Sports, humour, photos and classi- 
     
     fieds have all appeared from the paper's inception. Editorials 
     
     in the Eastern Graphic are fOrceful and opinionated, promoting 
     
     Kings County and attacking government at all levels, regardless 
     
     of party politics. Television listings and columns began to 
     
     play increasingly important roles in the paper during the 19708. 
     
     Syndicated columns on a wide variety of topics were printed, 
     
     while local columns commented on P.E.I. politics, recalled P.E.I. 
     
     history, and dealt humorously With different aspects of life. 
     
     During the 19803, the syndicated columns and the television 
     
     listings disappeared from the Eastern Graphic, but a wide range 
     
     of Island columnists were still featured. The Eastern Graphic 
     
     is still being published today.
