Bad day at the office

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer publishes its last print edition tomorrow. McClatchy's News & Observer is cutting about 27 newsroom jobs while mandating furloughs. And The New York Times comes out with an opinion piece today offering a strong argument for why newspapers can't be saved.

Just another chapter in the sinking of the Titanic.

Meanwhile, Copley's Borrego Sun has been sold to Patrick Meehan, a former Black Sabbath manager and majority owner of British media entertainment company HandMade Films (Life of Brian; Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels). No price was announced. The sale leaves Copley with one remaining paper, The San Diego Union-Tribune.
