The decline in the ink-on-paper communications system has no ideological boundaries. It is a technology thing.

How many jobs does that count as saved or created?

“We will focus on our strengths — exclusives, in-depth reporting, politics, enterprise stories, geostrategic and national news, plus cultural reporting based on traditional values,” Mr. Slevin said at a meeting of the newspaper’s editorial and support staff”

Yeah, every paper keeps saying this, than we open the paper and it doesn’t hold our interest longer than the time it takes to turn the pages. (Usually, about 30 seconds.)

Kind of sad. The Washington Times used to provide a good counter balance to the liberal Washington Post.

The Washington (com)Post reports on this news. . .front page.

The WaPo article is sleazy in its overt gloating and constant reference to Rev Moon running the paper. . .getting the facts wrong, as per usual.

"The decline in the ink-on-paper communications system has no ideological boundaries. It is a technology thing."

Pretty strong evidence it'd seem so.

I'd wager there's a cultural element here, one of the facets making up the whole behind 'the' reason.

There's technology, people simply not reading much, of anything, anymore. Content. Overhead etc.

To use a smarmy term?
The perfect storm.

I have been a subscriber since I was stationed here in 1993.

Reading the Wash Times and drinking a cup of coffee is my morning ritual and I really like the paper.

I must say it took a turn for the mediocre when Wesley Pruden retired and the new Editor started filling space with AP and Reuters crap.

It still prints all the facts rather than printing only the convenient ones like the WaPo does.

I do not like reading news papers on line so I will have to see how this shakes out.

I canceled my subscription when the Editor Wesley P. allowed Hillary a column during the Clinton Administration. I left a phone message on his machine about it. He tried to justify it the next day. Goodbye Washington Times.
