Postmedia Network Inc. announced Monday 25 jobs had been slashed after the company decided to shut down its Ottawa-based wire services and sign a contract with The Canadian Press.
Canada’s largest-circulation newspaper chain issued a memo to its staff announcing a “strategic decision” had been made to cut its Ottawa bureau’s breaking news staff — and refocus the bureau on “more fulsome reporting and commentary on national politics.”
