The Canadian Newsmaker of the Year is a title awarded by The Canadian Press (CP) annually since 1946, based on a survey of editors and broadcasters across the country on which Canadian has had the most influence on the news in a given year.[1] Canadian historian Chad Gaffield stated that the practice of recognising a newsmaker of the year was a return to the study of how history can be influenced by one person, rather than studying obscure people.[1]

The honour is often granted to politicians,[2] sometimes upwards of multiple times (10 for Pierre Trudeau and 9 for Lester Pearson),{{refn|Pierre Trudeau holds the record for most wins, receiving the distinction for the 10th time in 2000, breaking a tie with Lester B. Pearson's nine wins.[3]|group=N|name=Wins}} and though it is generally a positive acknowledgement, it is not guaranteed to be such.[4] In 1999 a newsmaker of the century was chosen in place of a newsmaker of the year,[1] with candidates having to meet the standard of "lasting significance". Voters gave a mix of compliments and criticisms to the winner, Pierre Trudeau, who responded by noting that he was "at once surprised and quite pleased with the information."[5]
