Yes, sad to say we had to drop our subscription this year.

It got to the point where virtually everything in the paper, I had read the day before on the internet. It’s a shame because they really do some good work with their local San Diego county stories – it’s just not worth the subscription price.

Not sure what the news environment will finally look like when everything finishes shaking out from the internet revolution, but we are well on our way to finding out.

FLU: The downside to bloggers is that they don’t have the investigative capability of a New York Times, or LA Times, or Newsweek (periodicals are going through the same bleeding out).

Combined with mostly corporate ownership, we now have a fully compromised press, which is part of the on-going problem in our society, namely little to no pushback on government or large business interests from an involved and engaged press.
