Metroland Media says it getting out of print newspapers at its community newspapers including in Muskoka. It says it will also abandon the flyer business as part of a restructuring plan as it files for protection under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.
This will result in the loss of 605 positions, or almost 60% of the company's overall staff.
Metroland claims the decision is the result of unsustainable financial losses caused by shifting consumer and advertiser choices.
Their news and features will transition to a digital-only model, according to the plan.
