PROSPECTUS

The Monitor began publishing on Dec. 3, 1975, the result of a merger between the County Line Courier and the Queen's County Telecaster and Commentator. When it started to publish, the Monitor printed Charlottetown news, television listings and a variety of feature columns. Column topics included highway safety, hairdressing, Island personalities, sports, live enter- tainment in Charlottetown, alcoholism, personal opinion and political commentary. The amount of news published in the Monitor declined throughout its publication history. Later issues often featured a theme, such as baseball, gardening or Old Home Week. The paper apparently ceased publication on August 10, 1977.
