The same sort of things are happening to the Newhouse/Booth Papers in Michigan. Older, veteran reporters, writers and editors are being told where the door is, while younger people -- who maybe don't know the Africa Continent or State Question -- are being urged to hang around. What is it with Newhouse that they don't understand what sells papers = "news" from a paper that has earned the trust of its readers, a paper with integrity that is willing to set its writers "free" to cover the controversial stories, write the controversial columns that break with local denial and tom foolery and "take a chance" on readers that don't want to be spoon-fed the flotsam that backs the status quo? And raise the subscription rates and ad rates at the same time?
