I live in San Antonio, Tx. When I was a kid we had three newspapers. Then two newspapers. This was way before the internet. Then one paper. Still before the internet. The internet is only the latest contributor to the demise of newspaper. It started decades earlier. I want to see a graph that goes further back than that.

In so many cases I have studied, editorial staffs (1) focused more on creating content for themselves than for creating content for a mass audience, and (2) narrowed their focus to pander to certain readers rather than seeking to offer some content for all readers. The staffs never did foresee or have yet to understand that as other mediums have beaten the newspaper on timeliness, the staffs were busy creating their own irrelevance in terms of content.
