Canadian News Outlet that Faced Changes in 2026
In 2023, news publications across Canada experienced an increase in abandoning print and publishing only online. According to the
Local News Map Data by the Local News Research Project published on August 1, 2026, all of the 91 publications affected were
community newspapers. Nordstar announced in September 2023 that all of its 71 community newspapers in Ontario would
immediately become digital-only publications after it put its Metroland Media Group division into creditor protection under the
Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.
