I love the part in bolded letters-I hate the Chronicle

“I think the San Francisco area is the most obvious market to try this in, because it’s big, it’s sophisticated and it’s getting progressively more poorly served by its papers,” said Rick Edmonds, a media business analyst at the Poynter Institute.

This seems kind of irrelevant considering that anyone in the world can already access both the NYT and the WSJ online. Attempting an expansion of the distribution of physical newspapers seems like a losing proposition at this point.

I dunno about that, I know many gladly pay for at least the sunday nyt...
It isn't really the same online... While I switched long ago to music online... I really don't like reading ebooks or other things on the computer.
I think it would probably work...very similar ideologies...
I used to get weird looks buying it at Publix in the southeast.. esp when cashiers were like, what?!? 5.00 for this paper?! I even had them rescan it b/c they thought it was an error.
Or people...why do you read that?! the local sunday paper is only 1.00!

I'm thinking, trying to remember the last time I bought a paper version of the chron, or even read it on line other than the odd article I picked off from Google News ... (sound of crickets chirping).

Last subscription we had elapsed about 10 years ago.

Of course, now I'm thinking of the last time I bought an NYT (crickets again ...)

DIE LEGACY MEDIA, DIE! (LOL ... !)
