I am telling you, the Plain Dealer outlives the Akron Beacon-Journal, the Repository in Canton and the Vindy in Youngstown. Your WNNDL Northeast Ohio correspondent checks in... Without Advance's financials in front of me, I'd have to agree with that last statement...and most in Northeast Ohio would probably agree. Indeed, there's a pesky rumor that the Beacon Journal (no dash) is again up for sale, and that Advance is looking to buy it and combine it with the PD. I'd not at all be surprised to see the PD and ABJ (and more?) combine forces. I don't think there's a big enough market for two big dailies here now, and don't think Black Press (ABJ's current owner) has the stomach to hang on in this economy. I'd almost bet the house on some sort of PD/ABJ combination by the end of 2009, if not sooner...I just don't know what it'll be. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups World News Now Discussion List group.

RE: Time Magazine: Ten Newspapers That Will Fold or Go Digital (fwd)
The AJC used to deliver daily the afternoon addition in Augusta, Ga but that came to end in the back in the mid 90's. In the first part of this century, you could get the paper down at the beach (Destin, Fl) in the hotels daily. Then it was limited to weekends, then that stopped about two or three years ago. Up until ~2007, don't know for sure when, there were machines here in Dothan, Al. Now they are all gone, if you want to read the AJC, online is the only option unless you want to drive close to Atlanta. I wonder how far they now deliver the paper locally and how far they still keep their machines. And yes the local paper (Media General's Dothan Eagle here is getting thinner. Most days are only 2 sections with 8 pages in each. Takes less than 5 minutes to scan through. The Sunday paper is worth the coupons, not the articles. Lowes had a $10 off and a $25 off good for about a month.
