The Canadian Press was established in 1917 as a vehicle to distribute Associated Press material to Canadian news media, mainly because it was very difficult to spread news across such a huge country, covering many time zones. It was important around this time to tell the news from overseas during World War I. Today, it is owned by many of Canada's own multimedia content provider companies. A French service was established in 1951. The CP has over 600 offices around the world and employs over 300 journalists.

Today, Broadcast News (formerly know as Standard Broadcast News) is part of the Canadian Press. BN is the primarily broadcast section of the company, while CP deals more with articles for newspapers.

In the past few years, CP has covered such events as the 2002 Winter Olympics, the 2004 Stanley Cup, and the power outage crisis on both sides of the border in 2003 to name a few. When covering major events, CP mostly relies on the Associated Press, but their own reporters get Canadian comment to the event. For example, 9/11.

Still today, CP and BN distribute AP material to Canadian news media. BN relies on Associated Press TV News (APTN).

Unlike the CBC, CP does not rely on the tax dollars of Canadians.
