SaltWire Network files for creditor protection

SaltWire Network, a news company that owns about two dozen newspapers across Atlantic Canada, filed for creditor protection in Nova Scotia Supreme Court earlier this week.

According to the court filings described by several media reports, the company has debts of almost $100 million. Per CBC News, SaltWire claims its debt is closer to $64 million.

Ian Scott, SaltWire’s chief operating officer said he is confident the company will emerge from these proceedings stronger than before.

“We are dedicated to continuing our legacy of providing insightful, local journalism and contributing positively to the communities we serve.”

Niagara-on-the-Lake Local goes online only

After publishing their final weekly print edition at the end of February, Niagara-on-the-Lake Local is moving ahead as a digital-only publication with the assistance of Village Media.

In a note published last month, editor and co-founder Penny Coles published a note telling readers about this ‘next chapter’ in the publication’s history.

“It is the right decision, and we are delighted to be moving forward,” she writes.

While the platform will be different, she says, the quality of the journalism will remain the same: balanced, fair, and delivered with integrity.
