Seattle Tree Ailing: Post Intelligencer Up for Sale
January 11, 2009
Short post. Click here to read about the financial plight of the Seattle Post Intelligencer. The newspaper may find a new owner. The newspaper may become a Web only publication. The newspaper may close. My call is for more floundering and then the lights go out. These resource sharing deals are a form of life support in my opinion. In the article, I fancied this statement:
Regrettably, we have come to the end of the line. Under the present circumstances, we see no opportunity for us to publish the P-I on a profitable basis.
Now that’s a way to find a buyer. If I had more interest in the dead and dying tree crowd, I would create a publication death watch. That’s too much work for me in 2009.
