Canadian paper to stop publishing Monday edition
Posted by Emily Dilling on April 30, 2009 at 5:40 AM
The National Post's parent company CanWest Global Communications Group has decided the paper will no longer publish Monday editions this summer, The Globe and Mail reported.
The decision to halt Monday publications throughout July and August was made as the company seeks ways to cut back on expenses. The Monday paper is the least read edition during the summer months. The Post has also ceased serving non-profitable areas, including Winnipeg.
CanWest is attempting to restructure in light of its $3.9 billion in debt, according to The Globe and Mail. The company has already laid off 560 employees in its print and broadcast departments.
