You’re right. Shoppers are going strong.
Also daily papers in suburbs don’t have a marketing problem.
I can believe it about the shoppers. After all, what else are you going to read at Wendy’s while you eat your chili?
But I’m not sure you’re right about the suburban dailies. I think most have now been bought up by two or three big (ultra liberal) media corporations and most of what’s in them is simply the same liberal garbage copied from their bigger cousins in the capital cities. That’s certainly the case with the suburban dailies around here. They’ve also shrunk to just a few pages, with very little advertising and their circulation is rapidly decreasing as well. And shrinking advertising and shrinking circulation is the ultimate death spiral for a daily.
