Community Review Closes Amid Flyer Shift | Winnipeg News

The Free Press Community Review is shutting down July 24th, ending 200,000 Manitoba households’ access to flyer inserts — a move triggered by TC Transcontinental’s new “Raddar” service that delivers ads directly via Canada Post. Flyers once fueled up to 10% of FP Newspapers’ revenue, and this shift threatens jobs across departments, though two Community Review staff may transition to the Free Press. Industry leaders warn of hundreds of layoffs nationwide, blaming Canada Post’s role in this model that undermines local news outlets already struggling with rising costs and digital competition. This marks another blow to Canada’s community journalism, raising alarms about the future of local news and the need for deeper government support.
