10 Ideas for Newspaper Survival

How about QUALITY, RELEVANCE and TRUSTWORTHYNESS?

The reason I no longer subscribe to a newspaper is mainly related to the quality of the content.

After the national media essentially gave George Bush a free pass before the 2000 (and 2004) election, as well as showed their utter cluelessness or menace in allowing uncritically the lies and propaganda that led to the Iraq war, I no longer trust any of our major newspapers with the job of informing me about the world.

It is that simple.

Instead of printing balanced and critical news reports, the papers were i busy prattling on about the endlessly rising housing market and pandering to their advertisers from the National Association of Realtors.

Those are good enough reasons for me, and they are just the tip of the iceberg of omission, incompetence and misinformation that has been passing for 'news" the last 20 years.

The papers

1. Missed the Iraq war fraud
2. Missed the housing and economic bubble entirely

Does anyone need additional reasons not to subscribe to the newspaper?
