As a former newspaper guy, I’ve seen lots of analyses of the industry’s tailspin.

This segment by John Oliver brilliantly sums up the how and why– and why it matters now more than ever.

Thanks to my friend Debbi for the heads-up.

  1. I have recently subscribed to a major newspaper again because I find the TV and online news, with the exception of MorristownGreen.com, too brief.
    Since MorristownGreen provides its readership with all the news there is in Morristown we should think about robustly supporting it financially. 🙂

  2. Kevin. I thought the same thing when I watched it. You know the library offers a service to read magazines for free? I admit I’m taking advantage of the service but I do worry.
