As someone who actually cared about getting the
JOA approved in 1989 between the Free Press and News, and who is obsessive enough to notice that they've been
breaking the law when joint publishing on holidays (instead of only on weekends), and had friends on
both sides of the strike, and who was offended by
Gannett basically thumbing its nose at the industry, the market and the law by
buying out Knight Ridder, today's announcement that the
Freep and the
News are going to be
home delivered only three days a week would've been a stake in my heart. . . if they hadn't already broken it into a million pieces.
Yes, the
CSM is going online only, and
Entertainment Weekly is reportedly thinking about it, but living in the
first major metropolitan area without a daily newspaper delivery?
Oy.
I'd say that they last person leaving Detroit should turn out the lights, but the bulb's been foreclosed on.
