The thing is Mark, papers have been "going out of business" since the
early days of television, and then radio. It was only when demographics
began shifting and a recession and downsizing of retailers did newspapers
really begin to clear out in the late 80s-90s. Yes, papers have been
folding for years. New ones have opened here and there, as well. Most
editors believe they won't fall prey to another medium, if they can beef
up their local and niche coverage.
Lack of vision? What about Gannett? There's some vision, whether you
agree with it or not.
