Pumps' Perplexities

The newspaper business is in trouble.......Advertising
monies once spent in newspapers is now being
diverted to the internet.......All the world headline
news, once printed on the front page, is now
available 24/7 from some news cable stations or the
internet.......In many cases most of your local paper
is also on the internet.......

The big city newspapers are losing money and
circulation.......But I think there is hope for the small
town papers........

I think it is about time that the "local" paper printed
more "local" news........The big news organizations are
not going to spend time and money on the "small"
stories, but the small town paper will........

My local newspaper is cutting every corner that it
can.....Less pages in some sections, different printing
formats that save space, smaller page size to save
"newsprint paper"........

It will survive if Section B (local news) becomes
larger than Section A (national news)........Pumps
