The Burlington Post has realized that they are having a hard time of making a go of it as an online operation and have decided to go back to print – something the knew a lot about.
The Burlington Post will not be on your doorstep – there are a couple of dozen locations around the city where it can be picked up. No word on how big the print run will be.

A collection of “ink-stained wretches” back doing what they used to do.

There is still a demographic that prefers reading newspapers in print rather than online. The problem is these people are north of sixty and aren’t doing a lot of buying. Is this a market advertisers want to pump money into?
They will pick up a lot of election advertising during the soft summer months.
They are probably going to bring an end to the Burlington Independent which has been publishing in Burlington for more than a year. They recently announced an Oakville edition.
Metroland, owners of the Post and the Beaver, were forced to seek bankruptcy protection and cease the print publication of weekly community newspapers across the province in September 2023.
