Montreal: The Toronto Star newspaper has hired an outside printer and plans to shutter its press and lay off 285 workers, the company announced on Friday.
Canada's largest circulation daily said in a statement that moving to an off-site printer will allow it to save Can$10 million (US$6.88 million) each year.
"This move will allow us to focus our efforts increasingly on creating great content and engaging audiences across many platforms, while at the same time reducing costs and improving the production quality of the newspaper," said publisher John Cruickshank.
