I grew up reading Newsday (The Long Island paper) the local tabloid- but it was sold in the 90's . The new owners immediately fired all the columnists, shrunk the comics, tripled the advertisements, eliminated newspaper boys that delivered door to door and replaced them with some guy in a van that throws the paper out of the car window as he passes by, raised the price and then were shocked, shocked! I tell you ... that their subscriptions fell off
I have not subscribed for 18 years .... the last time I happened to see one in the store it looked more like an advertising supplement than a newspaper
