"We finally got a press that does a 4-color register, and turned the Sporting Green actually green again, but if you really need your paper delivered, that's a $335 a year subscription hike from your previous $80 ...hey! what a discount for a loyal subscriber!"
Of course I can read what's left of it for free, as I can with the LA Times. But it's not the same as that tactile crinkling of newsprint with morning coffee. And Sundays, which used to spent *entirely* with public radio of choice and 5 pounds of newsprint in what passed for "church." Oh and by the way you didn't really need to read that stuff written by actual journos, did you? best of luck to Anastasia Hendrix, Christopher Heredia, Thor (yes!) Swift and Rachael Gordon, with whom I was privileged to share office space at Fresno State's Daily Collegian a zillion years ago. I used to regret that I didn't follow them on the major paper journo track. Used to. Still wish I had.
