Newspaper Publisher
Schultz became part-owner of the Nor'Wester newspaper in 1864, and its full owner the following year. He was a bitter opponent of the Hudson's Bay Company and, as the only newspaper editor in the colony, provided his readers with a very negative picture of the institution. Schultz also helped to establish a museum and masonic organization in the region. He sold the Nor'Wester in 1868, but remained involved in the region's burgeoning newspaper culture.
