Ted, > There has to be a model that works for newspapers because we can't afford to lose them completely. Nothing beats having a paper to read while eating lunch or taking the dog to the dog park. I'm not sure the P-I's move is a good one. By the way, I've always wondered why Seattle has to have two mainstream newspapers. Even Portland only has The Oregonian, IIRC. Competition. It was one of the few cities in the country that had two competing papers. Of course, that's ended now. Maybe I am wrong but it seems all papers are going the way of the dodo bird.

Nobody buys newspapers anymore, and that's where the ad revenue is (was). Look at Knight-Ridder, for example. The entire industry is dying except for a few.
