Marketwired
It is with great regret that Sun Media Corporation is today
compelled to announce the closure of the Montreal Mirror. The
current edition of the free English-language cultural weekly will
be its last.
The growing popularity of digital media and communications has
irremediably changed the context in which free cultural weeklies
operate, bringing about economic challenges which have
unfortunately compromised The Mirror's viability.
The closure will result in the layoff of seven employees and the
transfer of two more into other parts of the corporation.
Sun Media Corporation sincerely wishes to thank these employees
who contributed to making the Mirror a true Montreal cultural and
journalistic institution.
