Newspapers are in trouble and they don’t understand the internet. Most editors still think people open a newspaper to get national and world news. The wire service stories are day old an no one is reading them. Newspapers have failed to double down on local news and boost subscribers with the news that matters and the news they can’t get elsewhere.
From the ashes of the current news model a new more local more lean more crowd sourced media will rise.

There was a story on knoxnews.com today. It involved an old lady and her garden. Not one post about how Obama is anally raping dying soldiers in order to make white people his slaves via a system of mind-control distributed by the Affordable Care Act. Not. One. Ted Russell Ford cried.

The problem with the old leftist media is that they believe they still matter. Most everyone else knows better.

“From the ashes of the current news model a new more local more lean more crowd sourced media will rise.”
Tennessee was a pioneer in this. Crockett wrote about it. It’s called a “tavern.”

I certainly haven’t missed it yet, and I have historically read it online everyday.

I read it online and made comments on some stories. About half were removed by the KNS censors due to being politically incorrect.
Haven’t been to the KNS website since I saw the story by Jack McElroy. I will never give the KNS one thin dime.

So the advertising dollars on the website weren’t covering costs, because the pageviews were too few or the clickthroughs too few?
And to improve matters the site will now charge $0.40 per day to view and comment and click through on the ads?
I only wish I had the kind of mind that could make a successful business of such idiocy as thinking that raising prices will increase user numbers. I’d be richer than Hillary Clinton and happier than Bill.

I am a paid subscriber to the fishwrap version of this KNS. On Monday I dutifully registered an online account so I could access the online content. I even received a congratulatory email stating my success. I can log into the KNS website but cannot use the e-edition of the paper! They broke that some how. So I send them a check on a regular basis and now I cannot access the content?! Their excuse….some other hosting company deals with the e-edition. Good grief. Own it, fix it. Perhaps it is time I cancel my fishwrap subscription after 13 years.
