Seven at once?
Seven Pittsburgh area weekly newspapers will cease publication within the next week. That's a lot of papers to lose at once, even if they're only regional variations of the main paper. The local Pennysaver will be expanded, which is nice, I suppose. I'm rather alarmed at the recent tendency for local papers to print less local news and more national news. It's making them all too much alike. But now it seems that more local papers are going away altogether. I read that a couple of newspapers in the state of Illinois have given up on Monday editions. Is this a trend? Can Tuesday and Wednesday be far behind?
