We have family who just canceled their subscription to their city newspaper after 50 YEARS. The sales person was flabbergasted that they canceled, and tried every trick in the book to keep their business. My relative explained over and over that they no longer wish to pay to read obvious bias. The circulation person had no response to that.
When the St. Louis Post-Dispatch assassinated the Globe-Democrat, it didn’t know it but it signed it’s own death warrant. I can’t wait to see its last pitiful edition!
Several reasons:
1. Everyone who wants to read reads for free on the internet.
2. Libs don’t need it as it’s just preaching to the choir.
3. Conservatives won’t pay to read the libs’ BS and complaining about evil conservatives.
4. The housebird population is not increasing.
Hmm, let me take a crack at this...
Could it be because they no longer provide a service people are willing to pay for?
Could it be because the public (in general) is in various stages of waking up to the obvious bias in most papers so-called "news?"
Could it be that the public no-longer trusts the papers to give them the news rather than propaganda?
Could it be that most MSM "journalists" are held in lower regard than politicians, used car salesmen, and lawyers?
In short, papers are dying because they have walked, nay ran, away from what the people want.
Easy, stale, biased news :(
Its kind of ironic that all the libtards that would buy these papers dont want to buy papers because they want to save trees. The liberal newspapers killed themselves.
I was born and raised in the Boston area. I remember when the Boston Herald, the Boston Traveller, the Globe and the Record-American were separate papers (the Record-American was probably the result of a merger, I bet). The Herald was a morning paper and the Traveller was an afternoon paper. Dad brought them both home and I’d read both.
Cuz they suck!
I’m going to take a wild stab at it and guess it’s because people are sick of the journalistic crap they print, and have migrated to other sources of news information.
I don’t care why the big city Democrat newspapers are dying.
I just want them to hurry up and be dead, and I want everybody associated with them to lose their jobs, their homes, and their families. For the damage they have done to America they deserve nothing less. (spit)
