Seattle Post-Intelligencer - R.I.P.


Well the print edition at least. The economy is really hurting the newspaper business, and a healthy democracy should have plenty of news sources that citizens can choose from in order to stay informed.

Newspapers provide much more in-depth news than is presented on an evening television news program. Are the on-line versions an adequate substitute? There are definately pros and cons, but one big downside is that there will be many fewer reporters staffing the P-I's web site.

Plus, there is something about a newspaper - very portable, you can easily browse through it and find information you might miss otherwise.
