Applications being welcomed for business innovation component of Canada Periodical Fund

A note from Canadian Heritage says that funding applications for business innovations under the Canada Periodical Fund are being accepted now for the 2014-15 fiscal year. It is recommended that applicants allow four months prior to a project start date, though applications are accepted throughout the year. 

This component offers project funding to eligible small and mid-sized print magazine and digital periodical publishing firms. It encourages innovation to adapt to changing market conditions and contributes to the diversity of content sought by Canadian readers.
