Print newspapers aren't doing well this week.
There's the Christian Science Monitor that's shutting it's daily print edition in favour of going online. The story says after suffering financially for decades, it'll switch to the electronic format and weekend print editions.
The outlook for the future of print is a bit gloomy on our side of the border too. Apparently Ottawa-based Frank Magazine (not to be confused with the one in Halifax) is folding, both print and online. I'll let you decide if that's really a blow to journalism.
In New Brunswick the Carleton Free Press is shutting down operations as well. Why it's closing is becoming an interesting discussion. Is it because of big bad monopolies or just the market?
NOTE: I know it's a crappy photoshop job, but I don't have time to bother making it super pretty :)
