This newspaper deserves a lot more credit than it gets. I stumbled across The Metro by mistake. I…read morewas on the bus and the person sitting next to me left his paper behind. With print going into decline thanks to the Internet, the Metro is the only newspaper in Edmonton that I feel has merged the two mediums together. I think of it as a Digital-Print Magazine. They plug in highlights from their social media outlets (like Twitter feeds) into sidebars on the newspaper, which I find useful since I use Twitter very often. If you want to take the paper along with you without physically carrying the paper, you can use your smart phone to scan the QR Code (kind of like a barcode) that let's you access a particular section of the newspaper instantly from your cellphone. I think that's pretty neat. You can also download and view the day's newspaper from their website as well, if you like. I like the articles they write, too. They all seemed very relevant and I could relate to them very easily. Lots of good tech news as well.

Metro is another free "newspaper" here in Edmonton. And like Francesca said, I don't think anyone…read morewould actually pay for it anyways. The Metro is disappointing. The articles are nothing of real interest. I don't even really see the point of this newspaper. With papers like Vue Weekly and See Magazine, I don't understand how Metro survives. I have also seen the pages of Metro littering our streets and numerous public restaurants and coffee shops. But I've never seen anyone actually reading one of them. I think that people like the idea of the free paper but once they pick it up, they are grossly disappointed.
