There used to be thousands of papers, even in small towns in the middle of nowhere. Many also had the word "Sentinel" in the title to indicate they were standing watch over the community. Now there are far fewer, even in a large city like London. In Eastern Ontario, as of today, there will be even fewer.

The local media scene is changing once again.
This Thursday June 25 will be the last day people in the wider Quinte region will be seeing the Community Press weekly newspaper in their mailboxes.
Owners Postmedia will cease all eastern Ontario print weeklies on that date.
The Community Press will continue to be published online.
Postmedia says its decision will affect affect about 50 full-time and 200 part-time jobs connected to its flyer distribution network.
The Community Press was founded in the 1980’s by Alan Coxwell and his brother-in-law James Eby, along with John Seckar with its offices located in Stirling.
