The Star and newspapers across the country are caught slipping

Actually, the news isn't that bad for KC's local paper: The Kansas City Star's daily circulation (Monday- Saturday) slipped 0.7% -- a victory these days -- to 261,367. Sunday circulation was weaker, down 2.3% to 359,255. But if the national trends are any indication . . . The writing is on the wall (not dead trees).

  1. You're not kidding, Tony. Craigslist has crippled classified advertising, the bulwark of a money making newspaper. The Internet as a whole has put the serious hurt on the industry. I'll add that our readership is dying off as well, without younger readers to replace the older ones. I work in this industry and see it first hand.
