May 2012

I remember when the Post Herald was the morning paper and The Birmingham New the evening.
Then they switched.
Then bye bye Post Herald.
Through out this the prices went up.
I could see within the next few years only Sunday being printed.

The company which owns the papers say they are focusing on on-line content. Of course this means they are cutting jobs in the process.

I understand the issues in the news paper business, but what about those who don't use the internet, or reads the paper while eating breakfast, or while on the "john".

I wish they will create a real on-line paper similar to the NY Times or WSJ with an iPad version. I don't see this happening.
