The late Dan Iannuzzi was the owner of the "Town Crier" from 2001 until his death in 2004. Iannuzzi’s company bought the "Town Crier" newspapers in 2001 from Beaches resident Julie Morris, who had previously acquired them from Leaside residents Harry and Ruth Goldhar who had founded the papers with an East York-based edition in 1978. At Iannuzzi's death in November 2004 the papers had expanded to nine editions that covered an area of over 287,000 homes and nearly a million residents in Toronto cite web|url=http://www.towncrieronline.ca/main/main.php?direction=viewstory&storyid=4223&rootcatid=&communityid=3&rootsubcatid=|title= Town Crier publisher dies at age 70 |publisher=Multimedia Nova Corporation|accessdate=2008-08-10] .
