In Saskatchewan, the outcome would be fairly detrimental to a lot of the smaller publications. The newspaper industry has changed. Most of the work is now being done by the publishers, who are multi-tasking.
In my own operation, I run five newspapers, but each newspaper has anywhere from a part-time reporter to one full-time reporter. Under the current situation, we would not qualify for that. We don't qualify for things like the local journalism initiative fund because we don't have two full-time reporters. Without amending it to allow for smaller operations with perhaps one reporter, or even a part-time reporter, it will have a financial impact on us.
