Bleeding journalism dry


Saw a good column in the NYT today:

Forget about occupying Wall Street; maybe it’s time to start occupying Main Street, a place Gannett has bled dry by offering less and less news while dumping and furloughing journalists in seemingly every quarter.

(Full story, definitely worth reading, here.)


The column makes the case more eloquently than I could. I still like to read newspapers and think they're important, but what's happened to them over the past decade kills me.
