Yeah, according to the article, Gannett's business model is to snap up struggling local newspapers, fire the staffs, and then fill up the pages with cookie cutter AP material to "regionalize" the rag.

Sucks.

They’re cutting out the AP too, in favor of in-house features. Hard news reporting is out the window.

My mom actually studied journalism in the late 1950’s and at that time her professors held up the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel as the ideal of what a newspaper should be.

Now it is just another McPaper. Sad.
