Postmedia News cut 90 jobs across the country and merged newsrooms in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Ottawa last week. The Sun and the Province in Vancouver, the Calgary Herald and the Sun in Calgary, the Edmonton Journal and the Sun in Edmonton, and the Ottawa Citizen and the Ottawa Sun in Ottawa will share newsrooms in each city but will continue to publish separate papers. “Each city will have one newsroom,” Postmedia CEO and president Paul Godfrey said last Tuesday in a memo to his staff. “What is changing is how we produce these products.”
