Just when the news in Detroit couldn't get any worse, it stops coming
...at least to people's homes. The Detroit Free Press and Detroit News are going to stop home delivery. http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/12/16/detroit.newspapers/index.html?eref=rss_topstories
Let's see, the main industry in town is on the verge of collapse and that would possibly be the last nail in your city's economic coffin, your local teams suck (the Lions are now 0-14, maybe they should have kept Steve Mariucci) and it must be hard to read the bad news coming to your house every day. Now, you might not have to. The papers, according to the above piece, expect most people to read the papers online but admit it might not be good for people without broadband access. Seriously, this is just adding insult to injury for the Detroit citizenry.
Of course, one has to wonder when this will happen elsewhere, what impact the loss of newspapers will have on the economy and where is the news industry bailout?
