the deal includes the toronto sun , as well as sun dailies in ottawa , winnipeg , calgary and edmonton , the free 24 hours daily newspapers in toronto and vancouver , and the london free press .
on 14 february 1978 , the company entered into a partnership agreement with edmonton sun publishing ltd to publish its second tabloid , the edmonton sun , its first edition appearing on 2 april 1978 . in 1981 the edmonton sun became a wholly owned operation with the acquisition of all outstanding shares of edmonton sun publishing ltd . the calgary albertan , acquired on 31 july 1980 for $ 1 . 3 million , was subsequently transformed into the company ' s third daily tabloid , the calgary sun - first edition 3 august 1980 .
in july 2013 , sun media corp . announced it was slashing 360 jobs and shutting down 11 publications across the country . at the time , it said it needed to invest more heavily in digital news to lure in younger readers .
the purchase consolidates the media group ' s position in the baltimore metropolitan area . in addition to the sun , which is the largest paper in maryland , the company owns a range of community newspapers in other counties in the vicinity .
the acquisition signals an unprecedented concentration of the country ' s newspapers and digital news sites . postmedia takes ownership of both major dailies in three big cities : the sun and herald in calgary , the sun and journal in edmonton and the sun and citizen in ottawa . it previously owned both the vancouver sun and the province in vancouver , which it used as an example to make its case to the competition bureau .

the sale dramatically expands brower’s holdings , bringing many of maine’s newspapers , including most of its dailies , under his ownership . brower’s move to expand his media footprint and keep the sun journal under local control contrasts with what is occurring in most media markets , where newspapers are increasingly owned by national chains that consolidate operations and cut costs in a bid to seek profitability .
“we are excited to be the custodians of many of canada’s best known and trusted media brands , now and in the future . ”
but he pointed to his purchase of mainetoday media in 2015 , when the company retained 98 percent of its employees during the sale .
more than 2 , 500 sun media employees now work under new ownership , though some jobs are in jeopardy . postmedia president and ceo paul godfrey expects the deal to yield efficiencies through combined finance , human resources , it and production departments .
costello and brower said sun media was not shopping around for a buyer but saw the opportunity after years of working together on projects , including a printing contract with the bangor daily news , which shut down its hampden printing plant in 2013 .

before the sale , some in chicago feared that tronc’s ownership would shift the sun - times , which has traditionally been a progressive counterpoint to the more conservative tribune , to the right . others thought tronc would simply close the sun - times .
peter alter , a historian for the chicago history museum , said chicagoans had a deep affinity for the sun - times .

traditionally , the federal government has frowned on a single entity controlling multiple media operations in the same market . so the sale process required wrapports to sell to a bidder other than tronc if that bidder could prove it had the money to operate the sun - times , hence the $ 1 purchase price .
the deal also includes 160 small - town newspapers across the country , as well as sun media ' s digital properties , including urltoken — although , notably , quebecor will continue to operate urltoken in quebec , which according to a postmedia investor presentation makes up about half of that website ' s monthly traffic .
less than 200 of the university’s 19 , 500 student population attended the meeting where the motion was passed to ban the newspapers “in their current form” . the motion added that the ban could be extended to other media organisations with the sun , daily mail and express titles “merely used as high - profile examples” .

learnstreet is creating an online learning platform where anyone can learn how to code . if you ' ve never coded before , you can go to learnstreet to learn the basics . if you already have some coding skills , you can go to learnstreet to learn a new coding language or update your existing skills . by learning skills that are in high demand like ruby , python , or javascript - you will be much more employable . we believe that learning how to code is a very important skill that anyone should be able to grasp . learnstreet is creating a platform that will make learning how to code fun , interactive and engaging - and most importantly , accessible to everyone !
, learnstreet operates on the premise that , while current online coding resources have done wonders for popularizing computer science education , they are still , by and large , limited .
after recruiting a founding team and months of beta testing , khosla invested $ 1 million in learnstreet through his firm khosla ventures and has also joined the startup’s board . khosla now only sits on two boards of for - profit companies : square and learnstreet , which means that he will continue to play an active role in advising the startup during its early development .

palo alto based learnstreet , a learn - to - program platform with a million bucks in its pocket and different view on code , launched in public beta this past wednesday . inspired by the maker movement , learnstreet is different in that it views code as a a tool for self expression ; not just a skill for professional development . the platform includes in - browser coding ( project - based lessons ) , and instructional videos along with background , theory and exercises .
“learnstreet impressed the judges and our team at launch education and kids 2012 , ” said jason calacanis , host of premiere event . “we’re sure capturing the best technology award is the first of many impressive milestones for this promising start up . ”
learnstreet users can build in code garage by themselves or collaborate with friends , signing in to the platform via facebook , twitter , github and more , which means that they can share their completed projects with friends , family and potential employers .
learnstreet was founded a little over a year ago by vinod khosla , a venture capitalist who saw an opportunity to create an easy way to create online courses . other education companies have also sprouted up around it , including codecademy , khan academy and coursera .
) , has recently launched ( along with courses on javascript and ruby ) . our courses are designed for beginners and are fun , engaging and interactive through the use of multiple learning modalities . how is learnstreet different from other learn - to - code sites you ask ? ui / ux : a key aspect of learnstreet’s courses is its distinct ui / ux . in order to see this , start any one of our courses . multi - modal : our courses are designed for beginners , and we have multiple ways to help them learn , including live chat , twitter , q & a , hints , videos and background material .
but just how is it that learnstreet hopes to accomplish said democratization ? although it may sound cheesy , desai says that it starts with approaching coding as a new form of self - expression and approaching education not as an end in and of itself , but as a means to create products that have real - world application .
basically , learnstreet’s platform is broken down into two sections : online courses that introduce beginning coders to basic programming concepts , syntax and so on , and its so - called “code garage , ” a project - based learning tool that allows users to apply their newly - acquired knowledge to existing code and build widgets , games , puzzles and so on .
toney said it reminds him of his college years , when he bought himself an html programming book and taught himself how to make websites ( despite the fact that he was studying business ) . learnstreet is the online version of buying a book , and can be used by a student studying computer science , or by a teenager or adult looking for job skills .
learnstreet also hopes to capitalize on the movement within education to leverage technology to personalize the learning process by providing users with a multi - modal learning environment . said another way , the startup’s platform includes in - browser coding ( project - based lessons ) , along with instructional videos ( a la urltoken and treehouse , for example ) and background , theory and exercises .
the journey for us had started when we had launched our labs and incubated learnstreet . we are now preparing to launch sharedemos , zillionbets , research , marketingtigers , digital academy and silicon valley business apps awards . while services will continue to be our core business , as well as the foundation of everything else that we do , the diversification will introduce significant newer opportunities .
first , running the poker division is like “having your own startup , ” he said . as the general manager , he was in charge of managing an entire team and budget . the other similarity is that he plans on learnstreet having a freemium business model , where customers get some of the course work for free and then pay for additional help — sort of like free - to - play games .
considering that 75 percent of all development emanates from forking ( building off of ) existing code , providing users with a project - based learning environment that connects concepts with real - world application is huge . of course , learnstreet isn’t the only startup focusing on and iterating around this approach , so the key will be how well these companies build an ecosystem of services around an interactive community of both learners and experts .
at launch , learnstreet is focused specifically on content for beginners , but , going forward , desai says the team will be beefing up its intermediate and advanced content , as well as investing in services , like those that connect its students to employers . it’s all about moving from code literacy to showing people what they can do with code in the real world and potentially the dawn of computer science education 2 . 0 .
by bringing computer science education online and making it affordable , these companies have begun to democratize technical knowledge , exposing a new , global audience to programming along the way . piggy - backing on this progress , a young palo alto - based startup called learnstreet is launching today to make coding accessible and relevant to the masses , specifically those that may not be looking to become professional developers but want to learn how to build using the latest web technologies .

“we were thrilled to have been selected to present at the launchedu event
, said greg sherwin , ceo of learnstreet . “to win the award for best technology is a great accomplishment for us . we are building a fantastic platform that teaches people to code . this achievement validates the fact that we are creating a set of powerful and useful teaching methods to help people learn valuable coding skills to better qualify for tech jobs that are in high demand . ”
the problem says learnstreet product vp sanjay desai is that most coding platforms simply take the traditional “skill - and - drill” offline model and bring it online , failing to connect theories and ideas with real - world contexts , i . e . actual code . desai said that , for this very reason , drop - out rates have tended to be very high and while the interest is there , few people actually acquire all the skills they need to build something .
of course , the fact of the matter is that coding ain’t easy — or else your mom would be busy creating another sudoku solver . ( with all due respect to moms , of course . ) because there tricky concepts , head - scratching and road blocks are implicit to learning how to program , learnstreet provides in - browser live chat , along with the ability to tweet course instructors and access a community - driven q & a section in realtime to prevent users from having to give up out of frustration .
learnstreet features free coding lessons for students of all ages . unlike some code - instruction sites , it offers an impressive amount of personalized instruction . the well - organized , easy - to - follow ruby , python , and javascript programming language courses provide a hands - on learning experience with frequent examples and exercises . kids can look up coding terms and get hints or try to chat with a site administrator if they have questions . they also receive badges for completing sections , which can encourage them to stick with the program .
learnstreet offers some stellar programming instruction . kids can find out about coding terms , view what each section entails , and learn how to write code in three programming languages by completing interactive lessons . the system walks them through every step , providing instructions , examples , exercises , and hints . there ' s also a chat feature that ' s supposed to provide real - time help ; administrators aren ' t always online , but kids can email questions if they can ' t get an immediate response . a separate code garage section provides additional and fun programming projects .

toney is one of the many zynga employees who have left the games company over the past few months . in october , he stepped down after working there for three years , most of that time as the general manager of zynga poker .
“it’s hard to imagine being at a big company now , like zynga , now that i’m at a small company , ” said toney , after only five weeks on the job . “but that’s why i chose to leave . i wanted to join a company i could lead , and take it to the next level . ”
while toney’s most recent experience is based in gaming , he said there’s a number of overlaps between zynga and the new company .
“what we’ve done and discovered is we are beginning to pick up on pain points and friction points , where people are willing to pull out their credit card and pay for additional help , ” toney said .
so far , the company has raised $ 1 million from khosla ventures ; now , with toney on board , he said it plans to raise additional funding soon .
prior to zynga , toney held positions at nike and ebay . at nike , he was the global general manager for nike . com , working on the company’s e - commerce strategy ; at ebay , he was director and general manager of the company’s collectibles business .

palo alto , ca - - ( marketwired - nov 7 , 2013 ) - regalix inc . , an award - winning digital technology and marketing firm , announced today that it is sponsoring the 2013 silicon valley business app ( svba ) awards . the svba awards recognize the best achievements in business app development and facilitate the growth of the developer community by emphasizing best practices and strategies . awards will be given for both individual and group accomplishments . winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on wednesday , november 13 , 2013 at the historic del monte building in sunnyvale , california . the keynote speaker at the event will be dr . nikhil balram , president and ceo , ricoh innovations corporation .
awards will be given for best overall , best social business , best management , best finance , best productivity , and best business utility . these awards will recognize outstanding accomplishments by development teams during each stage of the development process . in addition audience at the event will vote to select the popular award .
based on participating applicants , regalix will create and publish a series of comprehensive case studies spotlighting the best practices and strategies for planning , creating , releasing , and maintaining a successful mobile app .
the demand for mobile apps has surged as adoption of mobile devices has accelerated both at home and at the office . industry forecasts show the global installed base of smartphones and tablets exceeding that of desktops and notebooks this year ( source : morgan stanley research ) .
only 16 percent of the ebusiness professionals participating in forrester research ' s global maturity online survey do not have a mobile app , and eighty - eight percent of those surveyed either have or plan to have native applications for ios by the end of 2013 , and 74 percent either have or plan to have native applications for android . forrester comments that
building native applications , especially in their native languages , is challenging : developers must learn not only mobile best practices but also new programming languages .
we established the svba awards to encourage developers to adopt and share best practices as they strive to make business apps that are both productive and engaging ,
said vikas sharan , regalix chief executive officer .
in addition to highlighting the success of the winners , we designed the event to be a venue for developers and businesses to collaborate and share ideas that will advance the industry .

( silicon valley business app ) awards today . the awards were launched at a ceremony at the
building in the heart of silicon valley . this is a defining moment for regalix and all the business to business targeted app developers .
the successful launch demonstrates a very fine entrepreneur - execution . four interns ( still in school ) got together this summer and while brainstorming with greg , at the regalix office , evangelized svba . namita took over the leadership of the project in september and provided the catalyst necessary to launch . under her guidance a very energized team got into motion and proved that when regalxians put their minds to something , they are unstoppable !
the event was amongst the finest in the valley and provides a model for award presentations . while many lessons were learnt , today i wanted to congratulate all of you for an incredible team effort . the team in india : srinivas , venkatesh , nupur , priscilla , priyo and many many more . the team in the us : greg , vineeta , tulika , nick , lorena , shivani , and brendan . all of you deserve a special applause for going over and beyond to make this happen . you are a true reflection of the spirit that defines the silicon valley .
today we complete our 9th year and start our 10th year . i wanted to congratulate everyone on our co - innovation journey so far .
there is something magical about the 10th year ; intel reinvented itself as a business computing company , ibm diversified into services and apple reinvented itself as mobile computing company .
at regalix we find ourselves at an interesting crossroads . we are transforming from a pure services company to also include products .
sharedemos is designed as the only community for sharing software product demo walkthroughs . you can share your product demo walkthroughs with customers and partners via your website or from sharedemos directly by sending them a link . your customers and partners can access the demos from any device , online or offline .
besides demos , sharedemos also supports videos , interactive media , documents , pdfs and webinars .

individuals & organizations upload product demos to sharedemos to not only connect with customers and partners but also to share ideas , conduct research , connect with others , and generate leads for their businesses .
i would like all of you to write back to me with your thoughts and suggestions . i will respond to all of you .
throughout the year , i will continue to share ideas , our vision and my thoughts with you . together we will co - innovate and build regalix into an iconic brand .
