The '''''Cornwall Standard-Freeholder''''' is a daily newspaper based in [[Cornwall, Ontario]], Canada. It has been in circulation for many years, and continues to be the newspaper with the largest circulation inside the [[Montreal]] - [[Ottawa]] - [[Kingston, Ontario|Kingston]] triangle. The newspaper is owned by [[Postmedia]].
==History==
The ''Standard-Freeholder'' is a daily newspaper in Cornwall and the counties of [[Stormont County|Stormont]], [[Dundas County, Ontario|Dundas]] and [[Glengarry County, Ontario|Glengarry]]. The Cornwall Standard-Freeholder is one of the oldest newspapers in Canada.
The current newspaper began as two publications, the ''Freeholder'', which was founded by the first [[List of premiers of Ontario|premier]] of [[Ontario]], [[John Sandfield Macdonald]] in 1846, and the ''Standard,'' founded in 1886.
The two newspapers were amalgamated in 1932 and the first issue was published on April 30 of that year. The ''Standard-Freeholder'' became a daily newspaper on April 1, 1941.
It currently publishes print editions Tuesdays through Saturdays, excluding statutory holidays. A complimentary edition is printed and distributed on Thursdays for non-subscribers.
==Present day==
The ''Standard-Freeholder'' remains the only daily newspaper in the triangle between [[Brockville]], Ottawa and Montreal to this day. In 2006, the ''Standard-Freeholder'' was nominated for the first time for a [[National Newspaper Award]] for a series of articles published the day after an announcement the city's oldest and most prominent employer, [[Domtar]] Fine Papers Inc., would be shutting down its [[paper mill]] operation for good.
In November 2018, the ''Standard-Freeholder'' along with several other daily newspapers in the Postmedia chain had its Monday edition cut, bringing it down to five editions per week instead of six.
