With most of its print newspapers having already scaled back or closed, three dailies in New Brunswick, Canada have had to find new print arrangements after equity fund-owned Postmedia closed the sprawling print centre on which they latterly depended.

In Moncton, New Brunswick – historic home of the Times and Transcript – 49 staff are out of work, and the 38-year-old Goss press is up for sale, its future uncertain.

Postmedia moved the paper, together with the New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal and the Fredericton Daily Gleaner to three days a week in 2023, and French-language daily l'Acadie Nouvelle, also printed in Moncton, has just followed suit, moving to bi-weekly. With the closure of the Main Street plant, they will be printed, but outside the province, which borders Quebec, Nova Scotia and the US.

Despite declining revenues and rising printing material costs, Postmedia is still the largest newspaper chain in Canada and says the print closures would not impact journalists.

Postmedia Network is majority-owned by the American private equity firm Chatham Asset Management, which holds approximately two-thirds of the company, with German insurance company Allianz and American billionaire investor Leon Cooperman holding much of the balance.
