I’d be expecting to see a lot of consolidations of failing papers. Instead it seems they are hell bent on dying alone. Herding cats?

The big metro model just won't work any more. Only super local stuff has a chance. And it has happened very suddenly and they're just too hidebound to change in time.

The only newspapers that will survive are the national newspapers (The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal) and super local newspapers that can operate with less than 10 reporters.

Funny how my father and I both are letting our subscriptions expire after the “We’re All Socialist Now” and “Is Your Baby Racist” cover stories and no way, no how would we go back at this point.
