The newspaper back north that served a population fo 418K filed for bankruptcy a couple months ago. They were within a week of having shut down when a conglomerate bought them at fire sale prices. Closing was last week and the layoffs started. Lack of advertising revenue was the stated cause and the subscriptions weren't enough to subsidize the loss. Annual subscription for a 7 day delivery was $210.00. I maintain a digital version down here and that costs 76.00 and it isn't great. The cost of the DS is insignificant for those of us that subscribe.
