Newfoundland's Last Newspaper Press Shuts Down
ST. JOHN'S NEWFOUNDLAND—
Postmedia reported it has successfully closed its acquisition of certain businesses and assets of Saltwire Network Inc. The Halifax Herald and St. John Telegram .Through the acquisition of Atlantic Canada’s largest media company. The sale did not include The Telegram's printing press -- the last of its kind in the province -- which has left several other papers scrambling to find a new plan. The building is on the market for $5.9 million,
and if nobody comes forward to buy it. The closure of this facility would leave Newfoundland and Labrador as the only province without the ability to print newspapers. The printing industry has continually shrunk over recent decades. The Telegram long ago absorbed the former Robinson-Blackmore chain of community papers, and the Newfoundland Herald ceased publishing almost two years ago.
