AND ANOTHER NEWSPAPER BITES THE DUST

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has been around more or less since shortly after the Unpleasantness Between the States (sometimes known as the War of Northern Aggression).  It will cease publication as a hard-copy newspaper at the end of this year.  I will, with a bit of luck, continue as an electronic publication.

I am glad they will maybe be able to hang in there in some form.  The decline of print newspapers in this country is perhaps to be expected but is in any event a shame.

Sadly, There is really no way a print newspaper can compete with online content. One reason is because online is instant news. Why buy a newspaper for news you already read last night.
