I speak for the trees
The Christian Science Monitor announced today that it will drop its print edition and exist only in online form.
And while we're on the subject. The Star-Ledger, previously thought to be closing up shop completely, announced last week that they would cut 40% of their newsroom staff. Good. Times.
A few months back, I recommended that a publicist friend reach out to bloggers for one of her artists. She replied, "Thus far, we've kept X artist away from The Online, and we intend to keep it that way."
Blink. Blink.
