If you haven't seen this week's YES! Weekly cover story on the challenges of area newspapers, you must read it.What's stunning is this quote from John Robinson at the News & Record:
Nearly any action taken by Robinson and the News & Record is criticized roundly in letters and blogs. A familiar refrain, commented by Doug Johnson in response to Robinson’s November post about buyouts, is “Keep doing the same old thing. You will get the same old result!” But the editor does not blanch in the face of criticism. He even argues with commenters on his own blog. “There are three things every man thinks he can do better than anyone else,” Robinson says, straining to remember a quote by Mark Twain. “These are stoke a fire, make love to a woman and edit a newspaper.”

The most interesting thing about this article is that it's written by an intern who says Spiderman inspired him to become a reporter.

If the head leads the tail, as it does with Landmark...I give Go Triad about 30 more days at best...
