They Finally Did It... (Score 0)

Gannett has now taken the first step of their "Final Solution" for journalists. They have been slowly killing local journalism for years by keeping only human intrest or sports stories as the number one priority and picking AP or Reuters writers ahead of the ones that are actually in the community. As someone who was on the inside of one of the larger "malignant tumors" (newspaper groupings), I can tell you that there is no concern for journalism or being a community watchdog when it comes to Gannett. It is all advertisement dollars. Take all the ad dollars you can get, cover the cost of making the paper, and then send every red cent back to McClean, Virginia. Use it to buy, then kill, and competing paper in the market. It is truly the Walmart of newspapers. So next time you see a USA Today or your local paper, save your $.75 to $1.50 and support your community.
