Montreal Mirror to End Publication
(firmenpresse) - MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 06/22/12 -- It is with great regret that Sun Media Corporation is today compelled to announce the closure of the Montreal Mirror. The current edition of the free English-language cultural weekly will be its last.
The growing popularity of digital media and communications has irremediably changed the context in which free cultural weeklies operate, bringing about economic challenges which have unfortunately compromised The Mirror's viability.
The closure will result in the layoff of seven employees and the transfer of two more into other parts of the corporation.
Sun Media Corporation sincerely wishes to thank these employees who contributed to making the Mirror a true Montreal cultural and journalistic institution.
