According to the statement, these three newspapers - which ceased print publication in August 2023 and transitioned to online-only - will cease publication altogether later this spring:

That's surprising to hear.

They're owned by the same media company (Glacier Media) that also publishes Vancouver is Awsome (Vancouverisawsome.com)

In fact, a lot of the stories on Burnaby Now would usually be duplicated from or with Vancouver is Awsome's stories.

They seem to have an extensive portfolio of news publications and sites they own beyond these four all over the province and on the Island.

I'm surprised it's only these three that are reported to be shuttering.

Is the readership in those three coverage areas really that anemic and lacking?
