Where did they get their newsprint from, and how badly will that business be affected?

I knew it was coming, but it still is heart wrenching. I could weep at the downsizing and/or complete closure of newsprint newspapers. As the daughter of a newspaperman, this is a very sad day. I would imagine that every single person that is working for the PI will be there for this final print.

Hopefully some of the staff of the PI will take a cue from what the staff of the Rocky just announced. Today the former staff of the Rocky Mountain News announced that they are putting together a new news service called indenvernews.com. Maybe the staff at the PI can save some of their jobs and legacy of the PI the same way.

Writers like Royal Brougham and Emmett Watson have to be turning over in their graves. These and other legends were a huge influence in past years.
