Newspaper Industry crumbles
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Friday was a sad day for the newspaper industry.
The list of two-newspaper towns got shorter with the closing of the Rocky Mountain News.
Nothing to cheer about here, though I’m quite certain the usual opinions will surface in this blog about print media, its demise and so forth.
So be it.
But what’s unfortunate about the loss of a major daily — any daily — is the loss of reporting on issues, both the routine and in-depth.
Where will people who like to be informed about their community, their state, turn for content?
Or does that really matter any more to a majority of citizens?
