I guess our luxury of having the TC seven days a week was inevitable to end with all the problems newspapers are having. They ran this story on where they usually have an obit...seems appropriate.
News article:
These are challenging times for businesses around the world, and the Times Colonist is not immune. The weak economy and an increase in the cost of fixed items such as newsprint and staff salaries have presented us with unprecedented challenges as we commence our 151st year in the community.
As a result, we will cease publishing a Monday edition of the Times Colonist, starting June 22. However, we’ll be beefing up content in our Tuesday edition and other editions and increasing the amount of local material on our website, www.timescolonist.com, to bring you breaking news online seven days a week.
The Times Colonist is not alone in adjusting its publishing schedule to reflect changes in the media world. Many North American newspapers have reduced their in-print editions, and several Canadian and U.S. newspapers have ceased publishing a Monday edition.
As the industry changes, we remain committed to delivering information to you in print and online, where and when you want it. The Times Colonist has been the primary source of information in Victoria and on Vancouver Island for the last century and a half, and we intend to maintain that relationship with you.
