  I don’t know what the computer-less will do in their area, but it’s seemed for a while now to be almost inevitable that some paper-based news organizations would make this switch.

  I hope that they expand their horizons enough to realize they are in the news-and-community-conversation business, and act accordingly.

  Also, maybe some sort of feed for cell phone-based subscribers? I did hear at a conference once that many around the world are bypassing PCs altogether and just going straight to the phone as their information device.

  Tim — The Post was the afternoon paper in town. The Enquirer in the morning still gets delivered (to some people, I guess) …

  “-30-”? I hope they explained just what the heck that means. Unless their audience is composed entirely of copy editors.

  wow! this doesn’t surprise me - a lot of afternoon papers are suffering from lack of readership. During my internship at an afternoon paper - in their IT department - I saw the signs of a lack of need for an afternoon newspaper (or the lack of action for change to adapt to today’s society…)

  Even though I know I’m somewhat biased, I feel that the newspaper folk at my paper didn’t get the new media need in today’s society - it was hard for them to understand why people wouldn’t want to read the paper in the evening (after they’ve received the morning paper, gone to the paper’s (poorly designed) website, received instant alerts from cnn.com, ….).

  It is sad - my folks actually don’t get any of the paper anymore - they just don’t care about news after it’s happened…

  Weird. The Cincinnati Post’s website redirects to KYPost.com. (See link for proof.) What’s up with that?
