Newspapers live on advertising--they sell ratings/readership to advertising.<br /><br />So I guess that's how they could be attacked. Whenever you cancel a subscription, write letters to advertisers notifying them as well. And tell them you loathe the newspaper and that you try not to patronize any of their advertisers. This stuff would eventually work if enough people did it. It creates doubt and fear in businesses if nothing else.Paulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17506171638613025839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065164884737080821.post-11932507622855586032009-08-06T21:09:30.828-04:002009-08-06T21:09:30.828-04:00Pauli,

Seriously, it needs to be completely destroyed and rebuilt from the bottom up. How that would be accomplished, I don't know. It's already very slowly dying, but it still does its damage every day. How to put a stake in its heart, I have no idea. Massive, organized boycotts? Protests? Who knows? But something's got to give.Susan B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14075079470118678320noreply@blogger.com
