TORONTO, ONTARIO, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
Editors Note: A photo for this release will be available via Marketwire
on the picture wire of The Canadian Press.

The Canadian Press Mobile application that delivers continuously updating
news from Canada's trusted news leader and many respected sources all in
one slick app can now be downloaded from the Apple App Store in English
or French.

Today's launch of Canada's first one-stop premium news app optimized for
iPhone and iPod touch provides the fastest, widest coverage of local,
national and international stories and photos from The Canadian Press and
an unrivalled network of news providers, including CTVglobemedia,
Torstar, Transcontinental, the Winnipeg Free Press and The Associated
Press.

"Users who want to stay one touch away from accessing the latest news
anywhere, anytime will find The Canadian Press Mobile app well worth the
$2.99 one-year subscription," said Eric Morrison, President of The
Canadian Press. "The app works without an Internet connection and can use
the iPhone's GPS to deliver local news based on automatic detection of a
user's current location. That's just two of the major advantages over the
free mobile sites, http://news4mobile.ca and http://nouvellesmobile.ca,
we launched in March."

Developed on AP's award-winning mobile platform with what consumers call
an "addictively easy" interface, The Canadian Press Mobile app delivers
the superior experience iPhone and iPod touch users have come to expect.
Users can intuitively view, search and rate the news, as well as quickly
flip through photo galleries and save, email or post news to Facebook or
Delicious. Designed for users who want the convenience of an all-in-one
news app that automatically loads and frequently updates content, it
saves users the time of setting up RSS feeds or visiting multiple news
sites.

Users can also personalize The Canadian Press Mobile app to only display
their topics of interest in order of importance, choosing from Top News,
Canada, World, Local, Business, Sports, Hockey, Showbiz, Technology,
Science, Travel and Wacky. Content from more than 20 communities comes
from a growing list of quality sources, including:

- The Canadian Press, exclusive distributor of AP's global news in Canada
and the Host National News Agency for the 2010 Winter Games, with 250
journalists in 14 bureaus across the country.

- The Globe and Mail, Canada's No.1 national newspaper.

- CTV, Canada's No.1 television network with coverage from British
Columbia, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.

- The Toronto Star, Canada's largest daily newspaper.

- Transcontinental Media, Atlantic Canada's leading community newspaper
publisher with coverage from Nova Scotia's Amherst Daily News, Cape
Breton Post, Truro Daily News and The News (New Glasgow); Prince Edward
Island's Journal Pioneer (Summerside) and The Guardian (Charlottetown);
Saskatchewan's Moose Jaw-Times Herald and Prince Albert Herald;
Newfoundland's The Telegram (St. John's) and The Western Star (Corner
Brook).

- The Winnipeg Free Press, the oldest newspaper in Western Canada.

"We've been eager to optimize our news content for the iPhone since we
launched it for BlackBerry(R) smartphones last month on BlackBerry App
World(TM)," said Mark Sikstrom, Executive Producer for CTV News
Syndication and CTV.ca. "Now that users of the two most popular
smartphones in Canada can access The Canadian Press Mobile, we're looking
forward to extending our mobile reach by giving users an unparalleled
news experience with one touch."

Soon users will see the addition of news video, as well as local news and
photos from Glacier Media, the most recent partner to join The Canadian
Press Mobile.
