From Fabian Dawson, Former Deputy Editor of the Vancouver Province:

Are we in an era where journalism gives way to churnalism?
24 hrs Vancouver will be closing their Vancouver office and laying off staff. The daily free newspaper will continue to print, but without original reporting from 24 hrs reporters and editors. Instead, it will re-circulate other Postmedia content printed in local papers like The Vancouver Sun and The Province.
