Tom, That seems overly broad. It only applies to some newspapers. As a long-term reader of newspapers, I cringe each time a good paper, such as the W Post or NY Times, loses an important feature or writer. Both papers seem to be run more from a journalistic perspective, than that of your evil MBA.
I still think of (good) newspapers as the best source of quality news, even though the editing quality seems to have suffered much lately. And they too are losing subscriptions and advertisers. There may not be enough people interested in quality news reporting to fully support. Too many people would rather be entertained than be informed. Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- Readers are voting with their feet by dropping paid sources with poor- quality for free sources with poor quality. The MBAs running newspapers today do not understand the value of their product and what they need to produce to make it worth paying for. So they cut the heart out of their newspapers and magazines and then blame the Internet for their loss of subscribers. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
