"Sun Media pressed ahead with an internal reorganization Wednesday, firing regional publishers in Ontario and replacing them with advertising managers whose sole focus will be on selling advertisements across broad geographic areas. Sources confirmed five managers were let go, including the publishers of the Kingston Whig-Standard, Peterborough Examiner and St. Catharines Standard. Publishers at community newspapers typically bridge the divide between editorial departments and advertising sales forces, and serve as the public face of a publication." (Quoted from article)
