Goodbye Atlantic Canada, and Thank You
Today is Huddle’s final day.
Acadia Broadcasting announced today the closure of Huddle.
Acadia Broadcasting President Chris Pearson acknowledged the difficulty of the decision to close the publication and the team’s hard work and commitment over the years. “It’s been an honour to share in Huddle’s dedication to quality journalism since Acadia Broadcasting’s acquisition of Huddle in 2019. Unfortunately, the advertising landscape has become increasingly complex over the years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we’ve had to make a necessary yet difficult business decision,” Pearson said.
Huddle’s Insights Podcast, hosted by Don Mills and David Campbell, will continue under the Acadia Broadcasting banner. Listeners can continue to find the show on their favourite podcast platform or online.
“David Campbell and I look forward to working with Acadia Broadcasting to bring listeners exclusive interviews with those making an important economic impact in our region and to continue to broaden our audience,” Mills said.
Huddle has had a class of extremely talented reporters and interns pass through our newsroom. Each one came with a special set of skills that made us better. There are many others, including Huddle’s founders, who played important roles in our history.
But even more than all of them, Huddle owes everything to you, dear readers. Your interest, engagement, and feedback gave life to the publication and everyone who worked here.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
As we say goodbye, we leave you with a list of some of our most read stories. You’ll find a fitting showcase of the Huddle’s work in this collection.
Long-time readers will recognize at least one story from the earliest days of the publication. You’ll also see some of our pandemic-era commentary, a few of our bread-and-butter retail stories, some of the good-news stories we built our publication around, and even some of our accountability journalism.
So please, enjoy a bittersweet trip down memory lane with us.
And thank you again, Atlantic Canada. We’ll miss you dearly.
