If your local newspaper reported accurately (within reason) on events and people in your community/metropolis/region with a little on the nation and the internation, in other words, hard news, would you subscribe? Read why the future of newspapers is worrisome.
I wouldn’t. I like living in Austin, but most local events don’t affect me and aren’t very interesting. That’s one of the reasons I like living in Austin. I have four little children to raise and a job.
I prefer to get my news from the Internet and my editorials from bloggers who wear their biases on their sleeves. I wouldn’t buy shares in a newspaper either.
I think I would if I could afford it. Which I can’t. So it’s academic.
