As of October 17, loyal readers of nine daily newspapers published by Postmedia Network Inc. will no longer have a print edition of their Monday paper delivered to their doorsteps. Fortunately, they will still be able to start their Monday morning with all the news from their chosen newspaper, in a digital format.
Postmedia recently announced that it would no longer print and deliver physical copies of the Vancouver Sun, The Province, Calgary Herald, Calgary Sun, Edmonton Journal, Edmonton Sun, Ottawa Citizen, Ottawa Sun and Montreal Gazette.
Fortunately for those papers’ loyal readers, they’ll still have access the content they are looking for, thanks to Branded Editions.
“Our e-papers provide our readers with the best of both worlds – a replica edition of the traditional printed product but in a digital format that’s easy to use,” said Gerry Nott, Postmedia’s SVP Editorial.
