With tremendous respect and sympathy for my good friends still employed at newspapers…
Newspapers deserve their fate. Even as recently as last year executives in at least one major paper were sill proclaiming “Newspapers will never die” as if there’s some divine edict that information be spread by ink on paper. Isn’t it tremendously ironic that the very organizations supposedly “in the know” are the ones most surprised by this whole “Internet thing”?
PS: Having spent a good portion of my life in Jersey, this reporter has grossly inflated the Ledger’s state-wide importance. In and around Trenton it was all about the Trentonian or Trenton Times. As small as it is Jersey is really a collection many, very different locales.
