Bondy, Gola, Madden and Mike Lupica. Others too. NY Daily News like other newspapers is losing a lot of money. I have a newspaper app where I get the print editions of newspapers all over the country for a monthly fee. I read both NY tabloids. If you look at the papers you think they are thriving. They have more sections and features than most newspapers anywhere. Extensive sports sections with multiple columns. The papers are so large they are hard to finish. Mike Lupica not only wrote sports columns but did editorial journalism on important topics of the day. If a major event happened his column would be on page 3. You might not like the guy but he was the face of the New York Daily News. They couldn't come to a financial agreement so he left. The Internet and TV killed the newspaper business but where exactly are there in depth articles on the Yankees, Mets, Rangers, Giants, Jets in other locations. The games are broken down and covered from every angle. Your not getting it on radio where Francesa hangs up on every caller and spouts his own nonsense. Local TV news devotes 5 minutes to sports. Even NY centric blogs might write a few paragraphs. It's the reporters going to the games and interviewing the coach, manager and players who tell you what actually happened. I download 5 newspapers in the morning to my iPad, read them offline on a train or while eating lunch. It's the actual newspaper. You would think that would be the wave of the future and save newspapers. No cost in printing, no wasted paper, no delivery trucks and I can download the newspapers anywhere in the world I have a WiFi connection.
TV didn't destroy newspapers......the internet did.
People sit at breakfast & jump online on their smart phones to read the news w/o every having to drive to a newdtsnd/market to buy a paper.

T V did destroy the afternoon large metro dailies. The internet is finishing off the morning papers. Don't know if anybody on here is old enough to remember the many different editions of each paper that would come out in a city like Chicago. Every couple of hours a new edition and they would have names like the red streak and such, so the consumer would know to ask for the latest one when passing a kiosk on the way home.
The guys selling the paper would try to slip you an older edition to get rid of them. Had to stay on top of it.

I love reading the newspaper. It's a part of my everyday.
The internet has changed the way the world does business. The advertising dollars that were the lifeblood of newspapers are no longer there. As a consequence, newspapers can no longer afford the high cost of writers, print, and distribution.
The world gets dumber as newspapers go away and as fewer people read them. They kept the citizenry informed in advanced Western countries. Not so anymore. We are returning to jungle mentality except jungle people knew how to survive on their own. The uninformed today are the dumbest people in the history of the planet.
Sad but true.

I don't think the problem is newspapers have gone away on its own. The problem is information is disseminated totally differently now and thus has the market become more fragmented. People can now read what they want to hear, as well as read about subjects that really have no impact on anyone's life or opinions with no factual basis, etc. News and information has become customized to what people want to hear because targeted advertising works so well. It is probably the major downside to the internet.
The flip side to that coin is that everyone who truly wants to be educated gets to live in a world where that is easier than ever to do and we have more resources than ever to leverage that knowledge. There is no subject we could know more about 15-20 years ago compared to right now. The resources at our fingertips are absolutely endless. We just need to utilize it better.
I agree with you the idiots are dumber than ever (also they have a bigger platform than ever because the internet, lol) but I do think the smart people are smarter than ever as well.

This app making 32 million dollars probably a good example.
Also, the fact the ugly Kardashian is now pretty hot just proves that anyone can be attractive with a little work....

the lying media and the lying politicians, two peas in a pod, is what turned me away from them a long time ago
I eventually cancelled everything I've ever subscribed to because of the bullshit they print
the media, supposedly the protectors of democracy, evolved into a cancer on society

Here in NYC we have a couple of Free Newspapers, AM New York, and Metro that suffice for subway/bus reading, are available at every subway stop, and besides everything else, they have made a large dent in the Daily News and NY Post circulation. Print Newspapers that you have to pay for are just dying.
I was the biggest NewsPaper reader. Read the Post and News Cover to Cover every weekday pre internet. No reason to do so anymore.

Craigslist hurt the papers the most. No classifieds to speak of anymore. When you sell a couch, you put it on Craiglist or Facebook, not taking out a $10 ad in the paper. Large metros were killed by this. They used to have sections of classifieds on the weekend. No longer.
And people as a whole are more stupid today. They don't care nor want to know what is going on.
