Columbia Journalism Review / Bryan Borzykowski
/ Jun 14, 2017“Even more concerning than the National Post folding is that its owner, Postmedia, could go under. It’s the largest newspaper chain in the country, with more than 200 brands under its umbrella, including numerous community and local papers. Outside of Toronto, Winnipeg is the only one of Canada’s 10 largest cities where you can get a non-Postmedia, English language daily delivered to your home. In some big cities, like Vancouver, the company controls more than one major paper. For comparison, in the US market, a Postmedia failure would be as if Gannett, Tronc, and McClatchy all simultaneously went bust.” —
