The Commonwealth - Official Journal of the Saskatchewan NDP/CCF since 1938 - ISSN 0010-3357

Tommy Douglas' first occupation was typsetting and operating a printing press. While he later followed a different path in life, he remained keenly aware of the power of the press. So, it stands to reason that when the opportunity arose, Tommy Douglas established a newspaper for his political movement.

The New Era, forerunner of the Commonwealth, was published in Weyburn, Saskatchewan, as a CCF (Co-operative Commonwealth Federation) federal riding newspaper. Over the years, it has grown into the official newspaper of the Saskatchewan NDP.
