As I picked up the ever thinner Duluth News Tribune this morning, I thought of the phrase "running like a business".
Well, newspapers have been run more and more like businesses and have been getting smaller and smaller and even losing money. One of the problems is that few are locally owned but run by people who look more at the bottom line than the daily details of providing something interesting and even compelling to read.
