RIPs

The Austin American Statesman is up for sale, along with Daytona Beach News-Journal. Tribune just sold Newsday. NJ Star Ledger and Trenton Times are under threat to be sold.

What does it mean? More death of print media, call me psychic if you will. For us, headaches may be induced by updating contact lists. And maybe more news from odious wires, which would mean less pitching, and less diversity of news stories.

Goodbye, hard-hitting investigative journalists. Hello, bloggers.
