Postmedia Reports Fourth Quarter Results
“While we continue to operate in a challenging advertising marketplace dominated by large, foreign media platforms, Postmedia achieved some important milestones during the quarter that give us optimism around the future of Canadian news media. It is clear from our digital audience that Canadians look to us to provide accurate and timely local, provincial, and national news,” said Andrew MacLeod, President and CEO. “We are appreciative of the Ontario government’s recent policy change to support local media in Ontario. We hope to see similar initiatives from governments and corporate Canada. We are encouraged by the successful completion of the C-18 negotiations and look forward to the release of funding. The improving environment gave us confidence to both step into a challenging situation in Atlantic Canada and save local news brands that have operated in those provinces for over 150 years and to invest millions of dollars in a new digital platform with improved capabilities.
