Putting a target on journalists is ok, but IMHO, the major problem killing most newspapers is the caliber of the owners and editors. Silly and biased stories can be killed if the owner and/or editors are responsible. If not, bias will fill every page, e.g., New York Slimes, Washington Compost.

I used to love the newspaper format in my younger days, it is the leftwing bias that turned me off of them.
They are a lot more than 85% liberal PC, maybe the DAILY OKLAHOMAN or the UNION-LEADER might get 15% non-PC on a good day
Compete or go bankrupt. How hard is that to figure out?
Why, exactly , would we want to save them?
printed newspapers cannot be saved...
they hate conservatives and republicants in general..
any business plan that calls for alienating over half of your potential customers right off the bat is doomed to failure..
I have to disagree with the premise that the decline of newspapers is because of the bias of their reporters. Newspapers and reporters have always been biased. What is killing newspapers, regardless of their political leaning, is technology and the internet. Twenty years ago I took the daily and Sunday paper wherever I lived. Now I get no paper but still read the news. Everything I used to get from the paper by subscribing to it; news, editorials, want ads, advertisements, comics, etc., I can get in spades from the internet for nothing.
This generation doesn't read newspapers...the next one won't either...
Everybody under 30 has internet access via iPad or smartphone...
Horse and buggy whip syndrome...
I haven't picked up a newspaper in 10 years and I'm 54...
it’s the progressive claptrap people no longer want
