What's happened to our newspapers?

[tuned]

This is a well written commentary on the state of the newspaper business in Canada.
Enjoy reading those freebie rags scattered all over the Skytrain? Well you'd better get used to it because soon that's the only kind of "newspaper" us peasants will have if the media titans have their way.
