MacLeod stated, "I can't state for certain right now what the future looks like, but I promise to move quickly, and I promise to build the model that will be stable and viable going forward." This emphasizes his commitment to ensuring a swift transition and a sustainable future for the acquired newspapers.
He mentioned, "And when we have more information and we know what the structure looks like, we'll be communicating directly with employees very quickly," indicating a focus on transparency and direct communication with staff.
MacLeod acknowledged the history of the individual papers by saying, "The new company will emphasize the names of the individual media holdings," showing an intention to respect and maintain local identities embedded in Atlantic Canadian journalism.
The union reported that layoffs have begun, stating, "four of its members—three editors and one reporter—have been laid off." This reflects the immediate operational impact following the acquisition.
