I take no pleasure in what is happening to newspapers in this country. The emergence of the WEB is something we were aware of at the Times and they were a little behind the curve but have put up one hell of a fight.Their website is excellent. The problem is that NO ONE has figured out how to make delivering info on the web.The loss of independent media outlets (regardless of what you think of the Times editorial policy)is a loss for the country. Something Im sure will take its place but could not be the same. Iused to work for the New York Times for 15 years in fact. I take no pleasure in what is happening to newspapers in this country.

I was waiting in line to get my oil changed and was offered a news paper. The paper was thin and I didn't find much of interest. So after attempting a crossword puzzle, I combed the classifieds. WOW! It used to be so thick, and now there is almost nothing in it. Papers need to re-think business plans and find a way to make the internet work well for them.
