Advertisers need to cancel too.
For some papers, the next year or two, if these people don’t return eventually....will spell their end as a 7-day-a-week newspaper. I think several dozen will become 5-day-a-week papers, and some will cut their staffs by fifty-percent to survive.
In this day and age, cancelled subscription is often permanent loss of readership because of alternate sources of news.
Newsprint is dead - the papers just haven’t yet been taken to the morgue.
Good luck finding employment, reporters.
You really shouldn’t have any trouble finding jobs - the world is chockablock with professional liars nowadays.
Gannett, the sh**bags of newspapers
They are still in business, aren't they? It hasn't been high enough.
Hopefully Trump will be like the meteorite 65 millions ago, killing off all these dinosaurs.
I remember newspapers.
Hehehe...more tea leaves folks, more tea leaves.
WHAT, please tell, will we deplorables be using to line the bottom of our bird’s cage or place on the floor to help in house-training our dogs and puppies?
Trump is rocking the status quo establishment’s boat and I’m LOVIN’ IT! I hope all of these Clintoon loving, commie lib “editors” choke on their newsprint.
Smart move in a dying industry. Anger the people who actually pay for your services. Typical move of a Democrat. And why do we think these were “conservative” papers?
More and more people are discovering they can live without newspapers, older subscribers are dying off, and younger people don’t read anything that isn’t on their phone. Add an endorsement for the biggest criminal ever to run for President, and people will read the comics on line.
Some years ago, a local newspaper editor was crusading for higher sales taxes to pay teachers more. (His wife was a school teacher, just by coincidence) The local car dealers threatened to pull their ads if he didn’t quit hurting their business, and he squealed like a stuck pig. he was fired shortly after.
We get the Sunday L.A. Times, not for the content but for the Shopping Coupons. I’m a Coupon clipper from way back.
I read parts of the Paper like the Calendar (entertainment) and Real Estate Sections. The rest I pretty much ignore.
Home Delivery cost us $10 a Year.
We used to get the Orange County Register, but they morphed from a Libertarian slant to a more Liberal one in recent years so there is no real difference between the two competing Newspapers anymore.
The kicker was they wanted $25 a Year for the O.C. Register Sunday Paper so I moved on to the other Fish Wrap.
I wish I could cancel a newspaper subscription to express my displeasure, but I cancelled my last one 15 years ago.
After going Internet-only, it’s pretty much like buying a Porsche and then shaking your fist at the last buggy whip maker as you blast down the Interstate highway at 95 mph.
Oh yeah, I remember the olden days when they were relevant.
Newspaper editors: “We took the ‘high’ road and endorsed a congenital liar, corrupt thief, and avowed traitor. Yes, we knew we’d take some hits in subscriptions, but it was worth it to maintain our ‘principles’.”
One thing this election has done is show what side everyone is on!
The great irony would be if Trump ended up buying some of these cheap rags for nickels on the dollaf... and making them profitable again.
Gannet has been feeling a slow death for at least the past five years. The made all their reporters and editors reapply for their jobs. Departments have been gutted at individual news rooms and instead it is all done off site. The newsrooms are more empty desks than people working.
