The news papers have bad bad problems.......

Writing a blog is not difficult. Writing a decent blog requires time and thought.

Recent events have conspired to make the time required to put down some thoughts hard to come by.

Recent events in the newspaper industry indicate that they are having a hard time coping with the realities of the present. They are not dead, but they are severely wounded.

The following is a listing of articles describing the decline and serious problem.
