The Hamilton Spectator is losing its office space as its owner tries to save money, CBC Hamilton has learned.
It means one of Ontario's longest-running newspapers with roughly 50 editorial staff will no longer have a physical newsroom.
Bob Hepburn, a spokesperson for Torstar Corporation, which publishes the Toronto Star, the Spec and Metroland community newspapers, declined an interview but said The Spec's offices will close in early October.
Torstar is owned by Nordstar Capital.
The Spec has been publishing since 1846. The paper moved its office from the lower city Frid Street location to Pritchard Road on the east Mountain in 2020.
