Thousands of Guelph Mercury readers looked on with shock and regret when
the 149-year-old newspaper produced its final edition on January 29,
2016. The development ended a journalistic tradition that was as old as
Canada and one that had produced national and provincial honours for its
coverage. Now Phil Andrews, former Managing Editor at the Guelph
Mercury, has gathered short fiction from nineteen journalists who worked
in the Mercury newsroom over the years, to celebrate the paper's legacy.
Former readers of the newspaper and fans of vivid, original fiction
should delight in this volume of stories from the journalists who served
the Guelph community over the Mercury's long history.
