It’s a sad day in Seattle, and it’s a sad day for newspaper fans around the country. I realize we are a vanishing breed. The tsunami of technology is not really what’s bothering me. The big concern is the difficulty figuring out a new economic model that will fund quality journalism, something we must have in a democracy.

It’s great that we have so many sources of information available on the internet. I want to know how great writers, reporters, prize-winning cartoonists, analysts, and investigative journalists are going to be able to make a living doing what they do? And if there’s no long term viable way to support themselves and their families, why would anyone go into the field?

I hope we figure it out soon!
