I guess those “journalists” will just have to learn to code.

A good start for most of the dead tree media.

Eighty percent of the paper is reprints from the Washington Post and New York Times, sometimes the stories are weeks old but they are careful to leave out time identifiers so you can’t really tell when they happened. You can read the paper in about 5 minutes time, although even the local news by that time is a couple of days old. Everything is filtered through the liberal mainland media lens.

They have a couple of local stories but it looks like they are laying off most of the reporters so that will go to nothing. They already stopped printing the newspaper on Saturdays. You buy the paper on Sundays so you have the Longs CVS Drugs ad for the Sunday sale items.

Ironically we don’t really need a newspaper, local people have no say in anything already, we have no real choice when it comes to politics (the politicians are pretty much selected by the Democrat Party and we have Russian style elections with no real choice). I’m sure we will get the news we need through press conferences by the governor’s and mayor’s office.

Print news is the biggest waster of natural resources I can think of.

I'm by no means a tree hugger but why bother printing something I can read online. Plus online I can look at ten articles on the subject and figure out myself what liberal leftist slant the new put on the event.

Plus online its free.

Majority of their commerce/economy is tourism.

They’ve pretty much shut that down.

Not much to report on.

Newspapers can’t survive. They will go the way of the pay phone.

““Meaningful journalism that educates, enlightens and inspires to affect positive change in our society has been my passion for nearly 20 years as a Hawaii news reporter,” Consillio said. “It has been a privilege and blessing to serve the community I love.””

i think i see the problem: there’s nothing in that statement about actual news reporting ...

“The company is either posturing to get us to agree to what they want or don’t really have the interests of workers in mind and they’re planning to do these layoffs anyway.”

Start your own paper then. Make it like a commune.

Good. Since we were confined to home, we didn’t go out to buy papers. I hope they go bankrupt, except for the NY Post, Boston Herald, and WSJournal.
