Another depressing newspaper analysis


Sorry to have to post this on April Fool's Day, but the New Yorker has chimed in on newspapers look below at the link. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/03/31/080331fa_fact_alterman?currentPage=all
Here's a sample from The New Yorker article:
"Most managers in the industry have reacted to the collapse of their business model with a spiral of budget cuts, bureau closings, buyouts, layoffs, and reductions in page size and column inches. Since 1990, a quarter of all American newspaper jobs have disappeared. The columnist Molly Ivins complained, shortly before her death, that the newspaper companies’ solution to their problem was to make “our product smaller and less helpful and less interesting.”
Give yourself some time, it's a longee.
