Newspapers were the only game in town for a long, long time and simply didn't bother to learn how to keep up. As a result, the big paper overlords (i.e., Gannett and Scripps) are more or less at their knees. Now, I don't know how direct this result is, per se, but it definitely looms. The more our paper cuts things away to "streamline," the sooner they're going to just cut everything away and disappear. Or become completely irrelevant. I'm not certain which is worse.

News flash: people are getting laid off all over this country, and it's a course of business to lay people off. I've been laid off twice in my career now - it's as normal as a pay raise, sadly.
