Rapid raise in cost of newsprint and declining revenue hurting publications
Canada’s largest Chinese-language newspaper, Sing Tao Daily, announced it will be stopping printing its daily newspaper after more than 40 years of operation.  Ceasing printing of the daily newspaper at the end of August, a total of 83 staff will be affected across the country. Newsprint prices have  ballooned by more than 50% in the first half of the year, with the media group cutting print runs and pagination to try to mitigate the cost increase.
