announced Wednesday in an internal memo to staff obtained by The Canadian Press
that describes the measures as part of a “tremendous” transformation plan
geared toward managing costs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“Businesses
everywhere have been facing similar pressures from a widespread economic
contraction that has intensified over the past six months. We have seen this in
technology, manufacturing, and in media,” said Andrew MacLeod, Postmedia’s
president and chief executive.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“That intensified
pressure means that we must accelerate our transformation.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

Postmedia’s vice-president of communications, confirmed the changes in an email
to The Canadian Press, but would not offer any specifics.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif;">MacLeod’s memo said
the plan will result in an unspecified number of roles being eliminated across
Postmedia </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> over the coming months
through hiring restrictions and layoffs.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“This is absolutely
not a reflection on the hard work and contributions they have made to our
company but rather an outcome of economic contraction that has affected so many
companies globally and the inherent challenges of our industry,” he wrote.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Newspaper
conglomerates including Postmedia have long been struggling to deal with
dwindling subscriber numbers, the rise of big tech companies that have eaten
into media profits and more advertising moving online and away from print.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In recent years,
Postmedia has coped by closing a number of small-town newspapers, reducing
print production of some of its titles and resorting to layoffs and voluntary
buyouts to manage costs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">While MacLeod did
not name the newspapers that will be making the switch to digital-only formats,
his memo said the transition will take place on Feb. 27.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="c-article-body__text text-pr-5 font-pratt" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; font-family: Pratt, Georgia, Palatino, "Book Antiqua", "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 1.4;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It will be accompanied by Postmedia analyzing opportunities to outsource and centralize printing “where it makes sense to do so,” MacLeod said.</span></p><p class="c-article-body__text text-pr-5 font-pratt" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; font-family: Pratt, Georgia, Palatino, "Book Antiqua", "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 1.4;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The first step in that process is a Limited Partnership agreement with Glacier Media that Postmedia recently signed, his memo said.</span></p><p class="c-article-body__text text-pr-5 font-pratt" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; font-family: Pratt, Georgia, Palatino, "Book Antiqua", "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 1.4;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The partnership will result in Postmedia moving its Saskatchewan printing to Estevan Printing and putting its Saskatoon building up for sale.</span></p><p class="c-article-body__text text-pr-5 font-pratt" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; font-family: Pratt, Georgia, Palatino, "Book Antiqua", "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 1.4;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The company will also look to sublease a Regina property, leaving Saskatchewan-based employees to permanently adopt remote work.</span></p><p class="c-article-body__text text-pr-5 font-pratt" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; font-family: Pratt, Georgia, Palatino, "Book Antiqua", "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 1.4;"><span style="font-size: medium;">MacLeod promised to provide further details around the changes to staff in a town hall Wednesday.</span></p><p class="c-article-body__text text-pr-5 font-pratt" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #191919; font-family: Pratt, Georgia, Palatino, "Book Antiqua", "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He said, “We know that this amount of change is unsettling but we must continue to focus on our strategy and delivering for our audiences, clients and partners.” (CP)</span></p>Poster Onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11923785512560467202noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640564662250621518.post-59538539058989375722023-01-01T21:11:00.010-05:002023-01-01T21:15:03.999-05:00French-Canadian New Brunswick journalist killed<p><span style="font-size: large;"> <span face="Roboto, Arial, Sans-sarif" style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b;">A journalist well-known to listeners of French-language radio in New Brunswick has been killed and police say they're investigating the death as a homicide.</span></span></p><p data-t="{"n":"blueLinks"}" style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Sans-sarif; margin: 0px 0px 16px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Donald Noël, the general manager of radio station CKRO, said Réjean Hébert was found dead Wednesday night outside his home in Saint-Simon, N.B., on the province's Acadian Peninsula.</span></p><p data-t="{"n":"blueLinks"}" style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Sans-sarif; margin: 0px 0px 16px;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Réjean was very appreciated in the community for his integrity and his devotion to his work," Noël said Sunday.

vice-president of news, replacing Michael Melling who took leave after the ouster
of key anchor Lisa LaFlamme.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 107%;">“Michael
Melling has been reassigned to VP Shared Services, and will not be returning to

move followed an independent third-party review of the CTV National newsroom started
in late August and conducted by leading employment lawyer Sarah Crossley.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 107%;">“The goal of
this review was to gather information about the culture, environment and

concerns or areas for improvement so that we could then work to address them,”
according to the memo.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

reprisal or inaction.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
