Guelph Mercury, One Of Canada's Oldest Newspapers, Quits Print Editions

The Canadian Press, 25 Jan, 2016 12:30 PM

TORONTO — The Guelph Mercury daily newspaper has announced it will stop publishing its print editions this week.

The paper in southwestern Ontario, which dates to 1867, is one of the oldest in the country.

Publisher Donna Luelo calls it a sad day, saying 23 full-time and three part-time jobs are affected.

She blames declining advertising and circulation that has fallen to 9,000 home-delivery subscribers.

The paper, currently under the Metroland Media Group, was owned by Thomson Newspaper Corp. from 1947 until 1995, when Hollinger Inc. took over.

Ownership moved in 1998 to Sun Media before Torstar Corporation took over that same year.
