Postmedia to cut Sunday papers, lay off staf

Postmedia announced Monday it will cease publishing Sunday newspapers in Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa, and suspend the Monday edition of the National Post through the summer.

Postmedia, which laid off 25 news wire staff earlier this month, said it will also cut an unspecified number of jobs and very soon put in place a paywall (a charge for viewing its online content), something a number of news outlets are considering, and some — notably the New York Times — have already implemented.

… that was a mind blowing experience.

I can’t believe House is ending today.

)’: )’: a small part of me hoped that it would last forever, or at least until I stopped caring. but i think as long as there is house, there is me, watching. feels like the end of an era.
