''Dose'' is a daily Canadian news website and former daily print magazine. It was a mixture of standalone features and coverage of daily news, sometimes from an irreverent perspective. Each daily issue had a theme, and the top margins of every page usually included trivia items related to the theme. ==History== ''Dose'' magazine was launched on April 4, 2005, and was distributed in five major Canadian cities: Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Ottawa. Different news articles from the five cities are still featured on the website. The magazine hoped to earn revenue through advertising and selling mobile content (via the website) and was aimed at the lucrative demographic of 18- to 34-year-olds. The website targets this market too. ''Dose'' was published by Noah Godfrey, son of CanWest board of directors member Paul Godfrey. The content team included editor-in-chief, Pema Hegan and creative director, Jaspal Riyait. The magazine was the product of Canwest Mediaworks Publications Inc. (originally the ''Calgary Herald'' Group), which was in turn part of the same corporate conglomerate, Canwest, that publishes the ''National Post'', among many other newspapers in Canada, including the ''Montreal Gazette'' and the ''Ottawa Citizen''. Canwest also controls the Global Television Network in Canada. Known for its artistic covers, ''Dose'' magazine won design awards at Communication Arts, Society for News Design, Society of Illustrators and the Canadian National Magazine Awards. On May 17, 2006, Canwest discontinued publication of the print edition of ''Dose'', but indicated that the magazine's online presence and selling of mobile content would continue. On July 14, 2010, Canwest completed the sale of its publishing division, which includes ''Dose'', to the new company Postmedia Network.〔(It's a done deal–Postmedia is open for business )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dose (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
