Here is why:

Gazette to go Web only on Sundays

The Sunday Edition of The Montreal GazettePhotograph by: John Kenney, The
Gazette MONTREAL - After long and serious consideration, we have decided that The
Gazette will cease publishing a print version of the paper on Sundays as of Aug.
8.

However, The Gazette will continue to provide full coverage of news,
entertainment and sports throughout the weekend on montrealgazette.com, as well
as on habsinsideout.com and alsinsideout.com.

In its 22-year existence, the Sunday Gazette has struggled to find significant
advertising support to cover the costs of printing and distribution.
Subscription rates and single-copy sales cover only a small percentage of total
costs; therefore, The Gazette has decided to focus its resources on the six
remaining print editions and on the Web.

La Presse made a similar decision last year and other newspapers, both in Canada
and the U.S., have reduced their print editions in recent times.

The Gazette will be adding its most popular Sunday features to an expanded
Saturday newspaper, making it - once again - the Weekend Gazette. Among features
to be moved are Social Notes, the Puzzles and comics pages, the Sports Opinion
page and some elements of the Insight pages.

The expanded Weekend Gazette will hit your doorsteps on Saturday, August 7.

In all seriousness this could be the beginning of the beginning of the end for print. I was talking to an informed political lad, Lisgar High School student in Ottawa and he made the valid point that printed newspapers are messy, difficult to manage and the news is old.

So there you are.
