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:
“My note to you I certainly did not expect to see in print; yet I have not been much shocked by the newspaper comments upon it. Those comments constitute a fair specimen of what has occurred to me through life. I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all.... A message from the gods should be delivered at once. It is damnably blasphemous to talk about the autumn season and so on. How dare the author or publisher demand a price for doing his duty, the highest and most honourable to which a man can be called?”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
