I still do not understand why there's not a cross publication pass for online (and delivered) news. It is the stupidest thing. Money just left sitting on the table.

It should be easy to choose local delivery (if you want it), add on regional news for a couple bucks extra per month, add on whole state for a few dollars more, etc on up to the national level.

I mean, seriously, call it the ‘press pass’ to make a single login credential for a wide variety of publications, paid monthly, quarterly or yearly, and there’ll be a big stinking pile of money sitting there to revive news.

To me it is content rather than access which has killed these organizations. Many can remember thirty years back when the Kansas City Star and the Arizona Republic were middle of the road papers with editorial stance to match.

Then, the inner city reader and temper became all important and little leftist journalists were left on their own. Bingo — both ruined.

cross publication pass

Excellent idea--but all of these leftist news outlets think they are "special" and "deserve" to have their own customers.

So they each die a "special" death. ;-)
