They adopted the standards of Gawker, Buzzfeed, HuffPo, and Daily Kos.

Snarky, sarcastic, leading articles with opinion statements, and being riddled with errors that should never appear in a print publication.

My own city’s newspaper is just a printed blog with some sports news, obituaries, and classified ads from companies that haven’t figured out how to use Craigslist yet.

I actually spent time at an estate sale recently reading an old copy of the same paper from 1977 and feeling like I was reading Shakespeare in comparison to what we have today. it IS actually sad because it doesn’t need to be like this, but I know it may never go back.
