Local businessman Mitch Garber offers to buy stake in Montreal Gazette
Garber’s offer was welcome news to groups like Friends of the Gazette, made up of politicians, business people and Anglo-rights activists who are trying to save the newspaper.
English-rights activists say with Anglo rights getting eroded with Bill 96, the entire community should worry about the demise of the Gazette. “A 25 per cent cut makes it very difficult for a newspaper to continue operations, because you have a small newsroom and you just can’t cover local news,” said Christopher Waddell, professor emeritus at Carleton University’s School of Journalism. “It becomes less relevant to the local community and there becomes less need for locals to buy the paper because there isn’t much in it.”The group trying to save the paper is lobbying the government for help.
