Metroland, Torstar launch monthly publications across Greater Toronto Area

Torstar and Metroland Media Group launch new monthly print publications in Burlington, Oakville, Oshawa and Whitby in Ontario to bolster local journalism.

Communities will see the return of The Burlington Post, Oakville Beaver, Whitby This Week and Oshawa This Week in new monthly print publications that will be available for pick-up at public locations and local businesses.

Metroland journalists who already provide local reporting for InsideHalton.com and DurhamRegion.com will write for the monthly newspapers.

Metroland is also relaunching its journalism internship program by hiring 20 new editorial interns for summer and year-long positions across Ontario.

Each edition will also provide free advertising space for local charities and community groups.

Lee Ann Waterman, group publisher, Community Brands and Vice President of Editorial, Metroland said, “In the two-and-a-half years since we stopped publishing print editions, we’ve heard from readers and local businesses how much they’ve missed their newspapers. We’ve missed them, too. The launch of monthly publications in Burlington, Oakville, Oshawa and Whitby is rooted in our long-term commitment to providing trusted, local journalism.”
