One week off unpaid at the Press Gannette

CNN reports. Here's the Press' coverage. I wonder how locally owned papers (are there any anywhere anymore?) are holding up? I also wonder, as DVRs and netcasting become more common, how much more locally produced material on TV will disappear? 26 already significantly cut back. Are TV and newspapers just beginning to face the competition and delivery convenience onslaught that music and movies have been dealing with for years?

The internet is a shining silver lining for many but it must seem a dark, turbulent cloud to folks who work in traditional content production and delivery.
