Meanwhile, Riga tweeted he will be working as a writer and producer for The Gazette’s new daily iPad magazine, which will be rolled out this fall as part of Postmedia Network’s four-platform strategy.

Starting today, I'm working on @mtlgazette's new daily iPad magazine (coming soon!). Officially, I'm a "writer/producer."
