Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Banner headline from The Gazette, February 18, 1946. The newspaper was published three days after Canada's Prime Minister, William Lyon Mackenzie King, held his first press conference regarding the Gouzenko Affair. For the first time, the Canadian public had learned of the existence of a Soviet spy ring operating in Canada and the United States.
Author or copyright owner	Montreal Gazette (formerly The Gazette)
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Newspapers.com
Date of publication	February 18, 1946
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Gouzenko Affair
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	The Gouzenko Affair had a profound impact on public opinion (public sympathy for the Soviet Union disappeared almost overnight when Canadians learned their erstwhile ally had been spying on them) and marked the beginning of the Red Scare, which was driven in no small part by the media coverage at the time. While Canadians today have the benefit of history books, Canadians in February 1946 had only the newspapers and radio broadcasts of the day, many of which provided speculative and often exaggerated synopses of the situation. As discussed in the article, for weeks after the affair was finally made public, newspapers across the country were filled with sensationalist headlines. A screenshot of a major Canadian newspaper alleging a Soviet fifth column in their banner headline (just days after the affair was made public) effectively illustrates the perceived gravity of Gouzenko's revelations, as well as the Canadian mindset at the time.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	A screenshot of the newspaper and its prominent, foreboding headline provides a more effective window into what Canadians saw and felt in 1946.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This file will be used only in the Gouzenko Affair article and this file will be the only newspaper clipping used in the article. Only about one-third of the first page is visible. The resolution is sufficiently low that only the headlines are legible.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
