One of the giants of the Canadian newspaper industry has announced a major restructuring, eliminating 360 positions.
Quebecor-owned Sun Media plans to shut down its 24 hours commuter papers in Edmonton, Calgary, and Ottawa on August 2.
The corporation publishes Sun tabloid newspapers in all three cities.
"The closure of the three 24 hours newspapers is a result of Sun Media's decision to focus on a single urban newspaper in each market, except Montreal and Toronto where their mass transit systems warrant the continuation of its free dailies," Sun Media said in a statement.
