An Insider’s View: The Strange Final Days Of The Seattle Post-Intelligencer
,----[ Quote ]
| The next day would be the last of the print Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the
| publisher declared. He added that “the bloodline” would live on in the form
| of a news website carrying the Seattle Post-Intelligencer name. Behind him
| were human-resources professionals flown in from other Hearst-owned papers in
| Houston and San Francisco.
|
| The announcement was spun as the first paper to make the transition to an
| all-digital daily. Nevermind that the site left behind would be a skeleton of
| its former self. The new editor in charge would not respond to questions when
| I asked her for a story about the transition intended to run in the final
| print-edition. Instead, she posted her own, unfiltered thoughts online.
