So what else is new, Pete? There's a C&W song about "An Old Family Tradition" that's quite applicable here. In 1958 my city editor, the late Chan Guffey, told me in so many words 'It's not news until we print it." More than 100 years ago a failed chamber of commerce administrator moved here from Colorado Springs, bought into a struggling new newspaper, and built it into an empire. The second generation of his heirs sold off most of it to an out-of-state promoter who proceeded to downsize things. But the Old Family Tradition remains, even though the print editions are now less than 1/8 as many pages as they were some 50 years ago. The more things change, the more they remain the same. Fortunately, technology has given us other information sources, that may or may not prove to be more reliable in the long run. It all depends on individuals like yourself; keep up the good work!
