The Seattle Post-Intelligencer went out of business as a “news” paper yesterday – although apparently there will still be a web-based version. Good riddance.
Look, I like newspapers; I subscribe to two – the Washington Post and the Washington Times. But I’ll probably give up the Post soon, simply because I’m tired of finding opinion in a “news” story, and switch to a small local paper. And no, I don’t favor the Times because it conservative, I favor it because its news stories are more news than opinion.
When the newspapers return to reporting news factually (who, what, when, where,and how), then (I think) readership will return. I will.
