Postmedia, the company that acquired Brunswick News in March, announced Tuesday that the print editions of the Telegraph-Journal, Moncton's Times and Transcript, and Fredericton's The Daily Gleaner will only be published on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays starting March 7. This decision marks a significant shift in the newspaper landscape of New Brunswick, as the Moncton printing facility will cease operations.
Impact on Local News
The reduction in print days is part of a broader trend in the newspaper industry, where digital consumption is increasingly replacing print. The move is expected to affect subscribers and advertisers alike, as well as employees at the printing plant. Postmedia has not yet commented on potential job losses or the future of the facility.
