I would have kept paying for delivery of my local paper if they would have kept all the good writers and kept giving me great content. Or I would have paid for online access. Of course, I’m in a different market. My state/local paper is owned by Gannett. Case study of how to ruin a business. Every six months they laid off good writers and added more AP feeds or USA Today crap. Today, they charge $2.00 for a midweek edition that has zero local or state coverage. They exist ONLY for the legal ads.
