La Presse Stops Printing Weekday Editions After 131 Years

Today marks the end of an era for Montreal-based French language newspaper La Presse, which—after 131 years of publishing—has distributed its last weekday print edition.

With the exception of its Saturday editions, the paper is going digital-only starting on Jan. 1.

Montreal-area resident Don Hobus is among the readers being left behind. He said he will not be downloading the app.

Instead, he'll stick to his decades-old tradition of reading the paper with his coffee in the morning—he'll simply choose another paper.

"I like to have the paper in my hand," he said. "I've never warmed up to the electronic readers."
