...for Seattle Post-Intelligencer is this the demise of the newspaper or a new beginning? If I were one of the employees of the newspaper who no longer has a job there (my understanding is that only about 20 people were retained for the online publication), this probably feels like a kind of death. And, there have been several obituaries written about it in media over the last couple of weeks. But, how about if we turn it around and say this is really the dawn of a new day. It will not be easy but isn't it a great new opportunity? Apparently, Hearst who owns this and many other newspapers and publications are now looking at this as a kind of experiment to see what happens. If it works or shows promise, I hope it can be used as a model for the future for their new media newspaper.
