    And last weekend the Philly Inquirer eliminated their already-cramped Sunday comics section in favor of a super-cramped six pages at the back of the TV listing section.

    Sic transit gloria Sunday. (Damn, I’m proud of that pun! Too bad only a sprinkling of people will get it.)

    The Denver Post picked up all the comics from the Rocky Mountain News. I never liked the Post as well, but I do appreciate them saving the comics. My major complaint is what they did with the panel comics. They’re so tiny I need my reading glasses.

    It as plain as the nose on your face, it now will be “Brenda Starr, Webmaster.”

    Either that, or she’ll run off to join Pug in a land where newspapers are still flourishing.

    I hope her frequent flyer miles are holding out.

    If the mainstream media wasn’t so dishonest, more people would be reading the newspapers. How many stories are out there that we don’t know about because the MSM doesn’t let us know?

    Too bad you think so little of your fellow readers. Sic transit gloria mundi.

    etighe, with all due respect, blaming the media for its own demise smells a little like a blame-the-victim line. You think the world is better off with newspapers being supplanted by blogs, with NOBODY minding the store, and NO standards for accuracy? Yes, the media have been corrupted and (much more importantly) dumbed down. But those who stopped buying newspapers because the “MSM” is a tool of The Conspiracy are part of the problem. A big part.

    I agree with “sic transit gloria Sunday.” I stopped buying Newsday when they dropped Brenda Starr, their last redeeming element. That’s why I’m on this website now.

    Speaking from over 10 years of newspaper experience, it’s not the readership or the quality of the news that keeps a newspaper in the black – it’s the advertisers (case in point: The Weekly World News - “Men on moon all look like Elvis.” Newspapers are concerned about keeping their readership up so that they can show advertisers how many people will see their ads. Quality content is strictly secondary.
