About 11 per cent of Postmedia’s roughly 650 journalists will be cut as one of the largest media companies in Canada prepares for an “extremely turbulent stretch,” the Star has learned.

Postmedia’s editorial senior vice-president Gerry Nott announced the layoffs in a Tuesday call with employees. Aside from Brunswick News and Postmedia Editorial Services, “There isn’t a property in our network that won’t be affected by a restructuring, reorganization or a layoff,” Nott said.

Last week, it announced that 12 of its community papers in Alberta would move to digital-only and that print operations elsewhere would be outsourced. The company is trying to shift to digital from print across the country. During a question and answer portion of the meeting, Nott was asked if any papers would be shuttered. He said none that he was aware of.

Sucks to hear. Hope nobody at TSN1050Radio is affected Judges, lawyers and cops are proof that there is no rule of law in Canada. They do things that would put normal people in jail or have consequences. Local media has ignored this problem ruthlessly and helped these bad actors stay hidden.
