Has Local News gone pre_Gutenburg? [View all]

The Greatest Show on Earth.

In the distant past, the publishers of a small local newspaper did not have a reporter available to review a show I was producing. This was great because i carry my own reviews and most newspaper publishers are happy to fill a column with words. That kind of frames the advertisements with gray space in the lay out.

We had great reviews. It was a terrible show.

Fast Forward to the Twenty First century.

I want to place an ad in a local paper.

Both of the publishers are dead. There is no small local newspaper.The reporter whose byline i borrowed so long ago was working at a motel.on the old us highway through town.

The reporter commented." the paper was a rag; It died."

I guess they were all rags. I guess they all died.
