if you're turning off msm, a suggestion.

25. I agree. I did so with Denver Post and a few weeks later was asked to complete a detailed survey

for their hard copy paper (for those reading it), their digital app, and their online website--as well as their online rendered newspaper version. While the survey was more about how they provided content, they did allow several options to critique whatever one wanted to comment on. And, I DID so in considerable detail as well as contrasting what they were doing better than NYT, WAPO, LAT, and a few others.

I guess someone reads it. But, I do get sufficient local news (and also subscribe to a front-range local paper via digital access only) so, I can attest to the value.

I just don't know what the business model will be in the future, though. All papers are having to dramatically drop the subscription price with one-year offers right now--hoping, obviously, that those subscribers will continue with the much higher regular price after that period. To me, it is invaluable and like public radio, and public TV, I think we should have subsidies--either Federal or state-based to assist in funding local papers and radio.

But, I guess I dream of a Utopia, because the R's intend to cut NPR and PBS at their first opportunity.
