The editorial direction has been changing over the last few years, which is interesting to watch, but as far as *news* or original stories, forget it. Most of what I see in the dead tree edition I already saw on a web page (and I don't mean the Oregonian's) the day before. Local news is reported in a superficial manner. I get more international news from the local Jewish Review. 1735@blogcritics.org Tue, 29 Oct 2002 16:44:59 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/10/29/104146.php#comment-1734 i think it has less to do with the content of newspapers than with the fact that nobody reads ANYTHING anymore. it's mostly tv or web or both. sadly, the daily newpaper has become something of an anachronism. 1734@blogcritics.org Tue, 29 Oct 2002 13:12:32 EST
