Well, my hometown is now down to one daily newspaper. Not that the shuttering of the Seattle P-I print edition comes as much of a surprise. This would fall into the category of a fairly slow (by today's media terms) death. Once it was announced that the paper would be put up for sale, rumors swirled about an online-only product with a skeleton staff.
That's just what's happening. Here's hoping the Seattle Times, the other partner in the longstanding JOA, can somehow benefit and become stronger.
The only question is whether the iconic P-I globe will keep spinning.
