Editor Smith Has Questions for Slow Summer Day

So, for the fun of it and because I know this blog's readers are thoughtful and forward thinking, let me pose a few questions for a slow summer's day.

1. Is there a future for a mass market print daily newspaper such as the SR? If so, what will that paper look like in 5 to 10 years?

4. How would you change our website and how would you relate the website to the print paper?
