"There was a land of Publishers and Editors called the Newspaper Business... Here in this pretty world Journalism took its last bow... Here was the last ever to be seen of Reporters and their Enablers, of Anonymous Sources and of Stringers... Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered. A Civilization Gone With the Wind..."
With apologies to Margaret Mitchell...
The poor old, tired, liberal Dallas Morning Snooze will finally only cover the central city, where no one reads English...including graduates of Dallas high schools who were born there.
Makes a lot of sense. They use horses to pull the delivery wagons, and this way they can reduce the number of animals, and wagons. And have you seen the price of hay and oats these days?
"Mr. Decherd said that changes in Belo's circulation practices at The News and its other three daily newspapers are saving the company about $8 million annually."
Think how much money they could save if they shut down the newpaper completely.
That's a 75% drop in area. Good riddance.
Let the DNC buy your papers.

Best sports section of any paper I've read.
But but but if PravdABDNC goes under how will the Dems get their beliefs hidden???

That can be parsed several ways. If he means 100 miles from Belo HQ, that would be roughly from the Red River to Waco, and from just beyond Mineral Wells to Tyler (but probably not Longview). If you measure from the printing plant in Plano, it probably wouldn't get you to Waco.
On the other hand, if he means the perimeter itself is only 100 miles long, it would enclose an area roughly the size of Dallas County.
Since the areas to the west of Dallas are largely Startlegram territory, even the largest of those areas is about a third smaller than it would appear at first blush.
In another year or so, they should be down to Dallas, Rockwall, the southern half of Collin and the Southwest corner of Denton county for their circulation area. Maybe they should give a free Cue|Cat with each new subscription.
