Canadian Printer, a trade publication which traces back to 1892, has announced it will be ceasing its quarterly print edition. Replacing it will be an annual magazine and a bi-weekly e-newsletter.
Publisher Pamela Kirk describes this new development as an exciting new direction for the brand, which is held by Rogers Publishing.
“Canadian Printer is once again positioning for the future, and evolving as a brand to reflect the changing industry it serves, with a view to not only grow its audience online but by continuing to serve our constituency with valuable editorial coverage,” writes Kirk in an announcement.
Canadian Printer has had its frequency slashed in recent years from 10 times a year to six and finally four. As of June 2009, the magazine has had a circulation of 12,010. It is the second print-specific publication in recent months to cease publication: in April, Reed Business Information shuttered Graphic Arts Monthly (circulation 77,000 and published for 82 years) and 22 other trade publications in the United States.
