National Post to eliminate Monday print edition

The National Post newspaper is eliminating its Monday print edition as of July.

The newspaper hasn't published on Mondays during the summer months for eight years.

This year, it won't resume the print edition on Mondays when the summer ends.

But it will introduce a Monday ePaper edition starting July 3.

"Eliminatingthe Monday print publication puts our National Post brands on strongerfinancial footing as we continue invest our energies into expandingour brands' reach both with audiences and clients," said GerryNott, senior vice presidentat the National Post and senior vice president forcontent atPostmedia, the newspaper's parent company.

The publication is also set to launch new websites for the National Post and Financial Post on Tuesday as well as new mobile apps later this month.

"Clearly the Post is suffering with the same problems it has been having for a long time, which is a decline in advertising revenue for print and online, and also a decline in circulation," Christopher Waddell, professor of business journalism at Carleton University, told CBC News.
