I worked for Gannett and Knight-Ridder in the late 90s and early 2000s, and you could see consumer tastes changing rapidly toward quick-hit TV and Web news. Far too many newspapers responded by trying to become more like the USA Today and dumbing down coverage to become more like TV news. I personally would have doubled down on the unique resource they had, investigative reporters, in the form of in-depth, long-form journalism, and made a serious investment in online presence. Not half-assed websites and lifestyle blogs.

Back then, I would not have instituted a pay wall on online content, so I can't blame them there. But to do so 15 years later, at a time when newspapers have never been less relevant, is idiotic imo. A last gasp.

A few weekends ago I was walking around on Sunday and thought it was such a good idea to get paper and a coffee and go home and read it. It just sat on my table until Wednesday then I threw it out

The best thing to read in the Inquirer these days is about the Inquirer.

Marimow reinstated as Editor.

In a late-afternoon ruling, Common Pleas Court Judge Patricia A. McInerney declared that Marimow's Oct. 7 firing violated the contract rights of Lewis Katz, one of two co-owners who opposed his dismissal.

George E. Norcross III, who leads a rival faction of owners and became a defendant in the lawsuit filed by Katz and H.F. "Gerry" Lenfest over the firing, vowed to appeal.

Put this in the "skyline" thread too, but Inga Saffron of the Inquirer wins a well-deserved Pulitzer for her architecture and urban planning writing.
