“Goodnight Chet...Goodnight Dave...”
roadkill
Well, maybe that's part of their problem.
When I was a kid in the 60’s my Dad would send me down to the store every afternoon to pick up the afternoon edition of the Boston Globe.”Make sure it says ‘closing stocks’ on it”,he’d say.Boston hasn’t had an afternoon paper in at least 30 years.
Bye bye. It was “The Post and Times Star” in my youth...
I live in Cincinnati and have never read the Post. I did not even know it was still in circulation. Sixty years ago, there were 13 newspapers in Cincinnati, four in German.
This is horrible! A ban on alcohol!
BTW- I usually stop by at their online site and read the sports almost daily. Today’s Lonnie Wheeler sports column starts thusly:
At the time of its first edition, which was 1881, the newspaper didn’t need sports, obviously. In Ohio’s largest city, there weren’t any to speak of. Basketball was 10 years shy of being invented. The local schools hadn’t yet connected education to football. And for the first (and still only) time since the National League was founded in
1876, Cincinnati was bereft of professional baseball.

I still miss the Dallas Times Herald!
Still, I'm sorry to see it go. Perhaps Anschutz will add Cincinnati to his chain of Examiner newspapers.

I always liked the post better. I will miss good coverage of KY high school sports.
I really wish you’d stop posting this garbage. It’s childish wishful thinking. It’s more influental and powerful than ever

Starting about a week ago, AT&T Yahoo’s mail page at the top has icons across the top that will drive another wooden stake into the dinosaur fish wraps.
You can click icons from free samples to coupons and other offers that used to be advertised in the fishwraps.
Our local fishwrap is now mailing out a special classified ad section with multi color ad inserts for major advertisers from Walmart to local businesses. I guess the subscription #’s are falling, and they are using this process to get the ads out.
Our son and DIL’s local fishwrap started doing this a couple of years ago. Now there is no local newspaper in their area that can be subscribed to. The local newspaper is now a free weekly and is mailed out for free with ads. It arrives on Friday. As noted before in other replies, no one on their cul de sac buys/subscribes to the local or county fishwraps or the San Francisco Gay Rhonicle.
The new homes in their area come wired for satellite. If homeowners want cable, they have to request it. Cable buyers usually drop after a year of price increases after the sucker buy in period.
So in this rather large and fast growing surbanian area, there is no real MSM impact any more. GW easily carried their zipcode and the surrounding ones in 2004.
Trees everywhere applaud this move.
51 journalists hitting the streets. Tough time to be a journalism grad looking for work. The good ones will land on their feet, the rest will become social workers or county corrections workers.
In the fifties Cleveland had three--The Plain Dealer in the morning, The Cleveland News at noon and The Cleveland Press in the afternoon. The Press bought out The News in the 60's and then years later folded, leaving the PD which I believe is now a McClatchy paper. It's not doing real well, although probably not on the death watch yet.
