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.

Famous quotes containing the words newspaper and/or publisher:
“You try to tell me anything about the newspaper business! Sir, I have been through it from Alpha to Omaha, and I tell you that the less a man knows the bigger the noise he makes and the higher the salary he commands.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The most durable thing in writing is style, and style is the most valuable investment a writer can make with his time. It pays off slowly, your agent will sneer at it, your publisher will misunderstand it, and it will take people you have never heard of to convince them by slow degrees that the writer who puts his individual mark on the way he writes will always pay off.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
