Journalism Career
In early 1843, Whelan left the The Register as well as Nova Scotia. He moved at the age of 19 to Charlottetown, P.E.I. hoping to start a new newspaper. His first attempt, The Spectator, failed. However, by June 1843 he began circulating The Palladium, which became the favoured paper of Irish Catholics living on Prince Edward Island. This venture ended in May 1845 due to debts. Edward Whelan accused the Liberals of not supporting him enough. He threatened to leave PEI but ended up staying.

Famous quotes containing the words journalism and/or career:
“Literature is the art of writing something that will be read twice; journalism what will be grasped at once.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
