So fewer people bought the papers. So they cut some more. And then the internet came along and advertisers started abandoning them. There are things they could do to reverse the trend, but when the papers are run by boards of directors that are just interested in selling off assets to make money this week, it's not going to happen. Pretty soon the only print papers we'll be seeing are the small town ones that just publish one or two days per week.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18359007443116549436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18574314.post-48714110320965385582009-05-05T07:06:00.000-05:002009-05-05T07:06:00.000-05:00Thanks so much for stopping by my site.

We have a program like that with my local paper. <br /><br />People can help out in two ways:<br />1. Donate money to help people AND teachers get subscriptions for free.<br /><br />2. Donate weeks that they'll be out of town rather than holding off while they're out or having the papers become a vast wasteland of crap in the front yard while they're out of town.<br /><br />It's worth a try!

This is a travesty. <br /><br />I understand the whole economy sucking thing. I get it. I'm living it. My local paper now prints only SIX days a week. "You can see the news online." What the hell? What happened to feeling the pages, smelling the ink, and snapping then folding the paper back so you don't have to hold your arms out like a freaking swan in full span?<br /><br />I am so damn sorry and am attempting to make myself find some modicum of patience until I see some sort of reply from the editor. If he doesn't reply, you are to let me know. I will have my students write to him. How would you like to be an editor and have 78 middle schools emailing you about how their adopted granny can't read her damn newspaper?Mouthy Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390913450937641605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18574314.post-72874906823389934142009-05-04T19:10:00.000-05:002009-05-04T19:10:00.000-05:00JackieSue - did you just post your own dang phone ...JackieSue - did you just post your own dang phone number on the internet?????PENolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920921974302444898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18574314.post-21058082506161456682009-05-04T18:48:00.000-05:002009-05-04T18:48:00.000-05:00why not organize a boycott of buttroy's rag?why not organize a boycott of buttroy's rag?billy pilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128876723713271131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18574314.post-51564985923778501712009-05-04T16:22:00.000-05:002009-05-04T16:22:00.000-05:00or better yet...write it to dear buttroy:
