Why Monday's Post Will Look a Lot Different

If you read the Washington Post tomorrow you will be in for a big change with the decision to trim down some of the least popular pages in the paper. I am not very disappointed in what they decided to cut given that if people want to know the price of stocks or read silly comics then you can do so online. However, just the fact that one of the biggest newspapers in the country is feeling the heat makes me feel a bit sad because it just leads to the inevitability of newspapers going out of business with the age of technology. I was hoping to see a sudden resurgence that would keep the industry alive for a bit longer, but now even with reorganization it does not look like that will happen. So if you were able to get your hands on an issue of the Post today make sure to keep hold of it because it will be a keepsake for the future.
