If I remember correctly the Financial Post didn't publish a Monday edition either. IMHO most of the people buying the Post did so solely for its business section which has been slowly gutted over time. Maybe I'm old-fashioned and I do love newspapers but I really think there is a niche market for a daily financial paper.randomwalker wrote:I don't know how this rag actually stays afloat given its dearth of advertising. I can only hope for its eventual death followed by the reserection of the Financial Post.
I also liked the Financial post before it became the National Post, which I also get delivered 6 days a week..
For me personally I would much rather read a news paper then read it on the internet. The thing that would really hurt me is if I coudn't read the news paper during my lunch break at Tim Hortons. For some reason reading the news paper at the coffee shop or over lunch is must.

Sinners alive! Izzy must be rolling over ... somewhere:
CBC and National Post announce content sharing agreement

From BCE-CTVglobemedia:
Shame about the typo, but I suppose print still enjoys some caché among the illiterati.Potential buyers of CanWest's specialty television stakes would include all of the company's domestic rivals, a list that includes Astral Media Inc., Corus Entertainment Inc., Rogers Communications Inc. and CTVglobemedia. For regulatory or financial reasons, most of these rivals would not bid on Global television.
Bidders for the newspapers – 11 dailies located across the country – are expected to include a management group, with potential interest in specific newspapers from regional publishers. For example, Torstar Corp. would likely look at CanWest L.P.'s two Ontario papers, the Ottawa Citizen and Windsor Star, as they compliment its existing stable of papers in southern Ontario. Debt-heavy Torstar is seen as unlikely to bid for the entire CanWest L.P chain.

Ironically, after years of losses the daily Financial Post turned profitable just before it was rolled into the National Post. I doubt the old FP could be relaunched as nearly all of the people responsible for its success have left over the years.randomwalker wrote:Jan 20, 2008

I read it as well. Us retired folks read one paper in the morning (Globe) over breakfast, one over lunch (Post), and one (local rag) in the evening.
I would read it for the Financial Post alone, not that it is necessarily superior content, but to get some diversity. I enjoy some of the weekend content as well. I don't worry about political slant in newspapers...

Ditto. I read the National post, and actually look forward to it.
I find the business section of the Star insulting. (Why am I paying to read the views of someone who seems to know less than I do, and can't write as well?. Most of the Some Star columnists write like they're targeting the emerging newspaper market for ESL. Globe is much better as a newspaper than the Star, but still not as readable as the post.
Yes, some of their writers get hysteric when anyone mentions climate change; their real estate sections is not etirely useful to me - their view of affordable housing starts at a million or two. But the rest of the paper is very readable.
