History
Journalist Brenda Large of Charlottetown, P.E.I. worked for the Ottawa bureau of the Canadian Press for five years. In April 1970 she married Nick Fillmore, editor of the alternative bi-weekly newspaper The 4th Estate, which was owned and published in Halifax by the Fillmore family company, N.I.F. Publishing Ltd. (incorporated 1969). Large joined the paper in 1970 as associate editor and became co-owner and co-publisher with her husband in January 1973. Under their guidance, The 4th Estate became a weekly paper featuring local and national current affairs, politics, business, art and entertainment. Large became sole owner and publisher of The 4th Estate and president of N.I.F. Publishing in November 1976. The paper went bankrupt and ceased publication in 1977, after which Large joined CBC television in Toronto. She later returned to Charlottetown, P.E.I. where she was residing as of 1998.
