Managing Editor Craig Pearson put the news in
a notice published in the paper.
Doug Schmidt, Windsor Star's newsroom union
representative with Unifor Local 240, said no layoffs are planned in the
change, according to the CBC.
In an email he said ad revenues are
"being cut into by web giants like Facebook and Google, who share our
stories for free without contributing to the cost of the work required to
generate those stories."
The website "will continue to be updated
regularly," according to Phyllise Gelfand, vice president of
communications at Postmedia, the CBC said.
Postmedia Network owns the paper.
