Newspaper survival (was: Can Citadel Broadcasting survive?)

[Maureen Carney]

And notice how many newspaper columnists and writers are flocking to radio and TV. Newspapers are used for background info, if that, these days.

It is a little scary to be on the subway and the only newspaper you
see being read is the Metro.

News junkies today are flocking to Google News which is like having
thousands of newspapers at your desk.

The Boston papers were wounded by the loss of Filenes which reduced
the number of full page ads. Classifieds are virtually extinct. I
doubt the Herald will be around in 2 years. They have been dropping
comic strips like Wizard of Id because they can't afford them.

Ask yourself this question? When was the last time you saw a newspaper
headline about a story you didn't already know?
