On the Seattle PI Closing

Eli at the Slog nails it. It's the sort of blog post that makes you think the future of reporting could, maybe, be the internet, but I'd have to see it work before I could believe that it would work.

As someone who has loved newspapers since he could read, but never lived long-term in the Seattle media market, I can't say that I've ever had a preference between the Seattle Times and the Seattle PI. When I would visit I'd always buy both, along with the late King County Journal, the Tacoma News Tribune, the Everett Herald, and whatever other newsprint I could get my hands on. I hate to see any of them go.
