I bet they will all get better jobs just ask O he says the economy is booming.
The Register used to be a conservative newspaper, one of very few. Sad to see it gone. Dead tree media is on its death bed, though. I was going to say it will be strange to be in a newspaperless society, but then I remembered I haven’t paid for a newspaper subscription in over twenty years. I blame myself. Heh.
They are bleeding money and went bankrupt. They needed a new owner to be the bad guy and do the layoffs.
I enjoy the Sunday version, otherwise handling paper is too cumbersome.
They will probably evolve into a tabloid format. Gone is the in depth reporting. Sad to see it go.
Not to worry. They can all become members of the WaPo writers group or get hired by the AP.
Still it is hard to imagine a Southern Cal paper not having growing circulation what with all of the fine erudite “immigrant” growth there.
Newspapers are dying out all over.
Some papers are having some luck with internet subscribers. I don’t subscribe online, because there is so much free content on the internet.
In about 20 years, maybe sooner, the printed newspaper will have disappeared completely.
I am not too sanguine about Daily News/Mercury News taking over the Register etal.
But its gotta be better than LAT grabbing it!
Fantastic ceremony today when they promoted the janitor to Editor-In-Chief!
Quoting “Gunsmoke” here:
“Die you egg-sucking pigs!”
I came to OC in 1981, 23 years old, read the Times in the morning, and the Register, after work. I came to find myself agreeing more, and more with the right of center Register, year after year, where I discovered Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, and a host of other opinion columnists, whose ideas I wholeheartedly endorsed.
Haven’t bought a printed paper in a long time, but even reading it online, it was obvious, that it wasn’t the same source of information, it once had been.
Too bad, but the good news is, there is a lot of information out there, if one knows where to look.
They are littering the streets with “free copies” of the newspaper for the last few weeks. I’m sure its meant as a way to drive their circulation up to increase their advertising rates.
I will always remember the OC Register as the place where I won the contest to predict the percentages in the 2003 recall election. There was a write-up and a picture. I got about $100 bucks in logo gear etc. I still have the mug.
I wonder if my stepmother, who lives in Laguna Woods, ever read this. She is probably too liberal (oh boy, is she liberal — she supports Bernie).
Does anybody know if they bought the Colorado Springs Gazette too? They are/were owned by Freedom.
