Lupica is laid off

If you're doing a feature on a second-string long snapper, get the fuck out of my newspaper.

 

River stop to think the guy might have a really good story to tell?

 

Maybe. Where's the river?

 

Damn that autocorrect to hel.

 

River stop to proofread your work?

 

Oh cry me an ever.

 

Did someone call me?

 

He'll have to be a justice columnist.

 

Fredrick, and anyone else out there who doesn't quite get it, please read this. Over and over again.

This is on the money, as well. The Internet has killed or severely hindered a shit-ton of industries, including music, cable TV and other telecommunications just to name a few.

 

This isn't a bad idea in theory, but the problem is, newspapers have always subsisted on advertising, not subscribers. How do you think free dailies and weeklies exist? ADS. And this wouldn't fix the problem. The only way to fix it is to find a way to make money off the internet ads or sell a shitload more larger retail/car ads.

 

Exactly. Nobody even knows what a newspaper is except the baby boomers. BTW you actually could continue to thrive just selling to the boomers (names makes news; names sell) if sales people weren't the dregs. Take a look at your sales departments, folks. Ask around about their backgrounds. The publishers devalued their own product and expertise of brilliant reporters and columnists, thought citizen journalists would be just as good and it's gone downhill fast. The print product is dead and will be gone completely in 3-4 years. But the Websites will 'thrive' with about 3-5 people producing them. LOL.
