Torstar
Torstar is a Canadian media and publishing company. Based at One Yonge Street in Toronto, the company is primarily a publisher of daily and community papers, including its flagship and namesake, the ''Toronto Star''.
== History ==
Torstar was founded after the Ontario government passed a law barring the provisions of late-''Toronto Star'' owner Joseph Atkinson's will from being enacted. Atkinson had bequeathed the newspaper to a charitable organization he had founded. The Conservative provincial government of George Drew (a critic of the Liberal-oriented ''Star'') passed a law banning charitable organizations from operating profitable entities such as newspapers. Rather than sell the newspaper, the trustees of the Atkinson Foundation bought out the Star privately and founded Torstar as a private corporation.〔(Atkinson Principles - TORSTAR CORPORATION ).

On November 26, 2010, it was announced that the Canadian Press news agency would be taken over by a for-profit corporation, with Torstar serving as one of its investors. In December 2011, Torstar acquired a 25% minority stake in specialty television channel owner Blue Ant Media.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thestar.com/business/article/1105764--torstar-acquires-25-per-cent-stake-in-blue-ant-media )〕
