Psycho Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 WASH POST, CITY PAPER & OTHERS REPORT LOSSES The Washington Post has reported a 13 percent drop in fourth-quarter earnings and a continued loss in readership. As a matter of fact, the Washington City Paper suffered a loss of earnings resulting in it being bought out last year as well as a 40% loss in readership. On the same note, many local blogs like DCist has seen half of its readership drop because of poor stories written by one of its former editors Martin Austermuhle A/k/a BfranK_DC. Why? These publications have spent too much of their efforts trying to create the news and not just report it, and that has cost them advertisers and readers. Plus, these publications have become extremely cowardly in their reporting and have purposely sat on hot news stories so as not to embarass themselves over people they had once endorsed and praised.

Guest Zengi Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I just tend to flow around. This is the second time I have come here since I have found it. This is the first time I have posted. Reading a newspaper is so yesterday. I wonder how many trees we could save if people just did not buy newspapers.
