Metro paper loses writers and others
I was sorry to read about a wave of resignations at the Metro newspaper. Over the years it’s been a decent source for this blog, considering its modest aspirations, besides having preserved a ghost of the old neighbourhood weeklies in a drop-down from the menu. It’s always been an agreeable counterweight to 24H, the Journal’s baby brother paper, as well.

At least we can hope it’s not the end for the journal. There’s plenty of new journalists that was hired in the last year or so in the journal (no one was hired when Metro was on sale for like more than a year), I hope they’ll be able to carry on. They have a new website, a new office… I don’t think it will close down short term.

One good sign is that Judith Lussier is back as a columnist. I’m glad to see the trolls that drove her away didn’t do so permanently.
