Atrios cuts to the quick on the struggles of the newspaper industry.

The point is that it’s lost advertising revenue, not lost subscription revenue, that’s the big problem.

I have argued before (not here, in person–I actually do see real live persons from time to time) that, more than anything else, Craig’s List, which took the classifieds, led the charge. The Saturday classifieds in the Philadelphia Shrinquier, which used to be easily three sections (I have read the Inky off and on for 25 years), not counting the real estate ads, is now seldom more than one section, including the real estate.
