Newspaper Business
,----[ Quote ]
| Over the past few years, as the newspaper business got in
| deeper and deeper trouble, we seemed to increasingly hear
| some particularly clueless suggestions on how newspapers
| should save themselves -- almost always revolving around
| some sort of backwards effort to put the genie back in the
| bottle, such as by all banding together, violating all
| sorts of anti-trust rules and colluding to charge for
| content.
