TORONTO – Torstar and Metroland Media Group say print editions for four local newspapers in the Greater Toronto Area are making a comeback.
A monthly print edition of the Burlington Post debuted last week, while the Oakville Beaver will be available for pick up at public locations and local businesses starting Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Whitby This Week and Oshawa This Week are set to have print relaunches on April 8 and 15, respectively.
Metroland says it is also relaunching its journalism internship program with 20 new editorial intern positions for the summer and year-long positions across Ontario.
In 2023, Metroland moved its hyperlocal newspapers to digital-only — save for six major daily newspapers — after the company sought protection and restructured under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.
Metroland received more than $3.2 million in Google payments last year in exchange for the tech giant getting an exemption from the Online News Act.
