Kamloops Daily News to close

After more than 80 years of publishing in Kamloops, the newspaper will cease operations within the next 60 days, the paper announced.
On Monday, Jan. 6, Glacier Media, parent company of the Daily News, served notice under Section 54 of the BC Labour Code to Unifor, representing unionized staff at the newspaper.
In an interview, Daily News publisher Tim Shoults said that the reason for the colosure is economic.
“This was certainly not our first option by any stretch of the imagination,” Shoults said, noting efforts to save the paper from closure simply could not be realized.
Shoults said 43 full-time and 12 part-time employees will lose their jobs, in addition to a number of drivers and carriers.
