I’ve had some texts and emails asking if the sad news about the closure of 14 community papers in Eastern Ontario affects the Millstone. It doesn’t.
We are a community-based and volunteer-run paper and don’t rely on circulation or advertising sales. Nor are we owned by any outside company.
And since we are online-only, our monthly operating costs are much lower than those of print papers. We meet those costs through your kind donations each year.
So we’re not going anywhere. But I do want to remind readers that we rely on your letters, articles and story ideas for our daily content. Please keep sending those to us at millstoneeditor@bell.net.
Here’s a list of the area papers that have just ceased publishing after being acquired by the Postmedia company:
- Metro Ottawa
- Belleville News
- Central Hastings News
- Frontenac Gazette
- Kanata Kourier-Standard
- Kingston Heritage
- Nepean/Barrhaven News
- Orléans News
- Ottawa East News
- Ottawa South News
- Ottawa West News
- Quinte West News
- Stittsville News
- St. Lawrence News
- West Carleton Review
