The Jewish Star (Alberta)
''The Jewish Star'' was a newspaper which appeared in two editions, both produced in Calgary, Alberta, from 1980 to 1990.〔Gloria M. Strathern, ''(Alberta Newspapers, 1880-1982: An Historical Directory )'', Edmonton: University of Alberta Press, 1988, pp. 51, 115.〕 The fortnightly Calgary edition (ISSN 0228-2283) of ''The Jewish Star'' was the first independent Jewish newspaper published in that city; the monthly Edmonton edition (ISSN 0228-6017) of ''The Jewish Star'' was the first independent Jewish newspaper published for the provincial capital. Both editions were tabloid-sized newspapers (ranging from 8 to 28 pages per issue) mailed on a controlled circulation basis to virtually all Jewish households in each city.
==History==
''The Jewish Star'' was founded by Douglas Wertheimer, who served as Editor and President of The Jewish Star Newspaper, Ltd., and Gila Wertheimer, Associate Editor, with start-up funding from family members, supporters and bank loans.〔''The Jewish Star'', Calgary Edition, June 1, 1990, p. 4; “Five Years Later,” ''The Jewish Star'', Calgary Edition, August 23, 1985, p. 7.〕 The founding of the newspaper coincided with an explosion of economic growth in Alberta related to the oil industry.〔Max Rubin, “Alberta’s Jews: The Long Journey,” in Howard and Tamara Palmer (eds.), ''Peoples of Alberta: Portraits of Cultural Diversity'', Saskatoon: Western Producer Prairie Books, 1985, p. 346.〕 Calgary, known since 1945 as one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities, had undergone a population increase of 47 percent from 1971 to 1981.〔Max I. Foran, “Calgary,” ''The Canadian Encyclopedia'' (Edmonton: Hurtig Publishers, 2nd edition, 1988), volume 1, page 315.〕 Meanwhile, the Calgary Jewish community had increased by 50 percent from 1975-79 to about 6,000 Jews.〔“First issue of Jewish newspaper published in Calgary,” ''JTA Community News Reporter'', New York, vol. 19, August 29, 1980, p. 1.〕
Commenting on the start-up of the Calgary edition of ''The Jewish Star'', the ''Calgary Herald'' noted that the paper had "avoided some of the more obvious first-issue pitfalls by using good layout, attractive printing free of typographical errors, professional writing by three international Jewish wire services and plenty of local content... there was () a heavy advertising content."〔"Calgarians try luck with new Jewish paper," ''Calgary Herald'', September 27, 1980, p. G12〕 After the launch of the Calgary Edition (published from August 22, 1980 through June 1, 1990), the Jewish Community Council in Edmonton invited the publishers to produce a separate Edmonton Edition.〔Levendel, ''A Century of the Canadian Jewish Press'', p. 243.〕 It ran as a monthly from December 1980〔"Calgary Jewish Star starts Jewish Star in Edmonton," ''JTA Community News Reporter'', February 6, 1981, p. 2; "Edmonton Jewish Star begins monthly service," ''Canadian Jewish News'', February 19, 1981, p. 6; "New monthly newspaper serves Edmonton Jewry," ''Jewish Western Bulletin'' (Vancouver), February 26, 1981, p. 6.〕 through June 1990, utilizing some of the same content. While also independent, it received a guaranteed annual purchase of subscriptions (an arrangement voluntarily terminated by ''The Jewish Star'' in 1987).〔''The Jewish Star'', Edmonton Edition, September 1987, p. 1.〕
During the 1980s, the company was the sole independent publisher in Canada of more than one Jewish newspaper.〔In the United States, the ''Heritage-Southwest Jewish Press'' of Los Angeles was then printing editions for four southern California areas (''The Jewish Star'', November 14, 1980, p. 8).〕 From around 1984, it began taking on typesetting jobs, including typesetting and photographic services for William D. Peacock's ''Native Albertan'',〔''The Jewish Star'', Calgary edition, September 21, 1984, p. 5.〕 the Italian-language newspaper ''Lo Stivale'',〔“Mostly About People,” ''The Jewish Star'', Calgary edition, May 4, 1984, p. 5.〕 and D. Bercuson and D. Wertheimer's 241-page book, ''A Trust Betrayed'' (Doubleday, 1981). In the late 1980s, it made an unsuccessful attempt to purchase the ''Jewish Western Bulletin'' of Vancouver.〔''Chicago Jewish Star'', August 15, 2008, p. 11.〕
