4769...Another Paper Dies

You know and I know and we know that this time next century paper newspapers will be few and far between.

Earlier this month Postmedia, they run papers like The Ottawa Citizen, The National Post and a host of others, announced that Sunday's are no more broadsheet days.  Earlier this year one of the most venerable papers in the South, The New Orleans Times-Picayune, announced it was going to be an online rag from now on.

Today The Globe and Mail online reported that "Quebecor Inc.’s Sun Media division is shutting down the Montreal Mirror, the city’s last remaining English alternative weekly newspaper."  Earlier this year Hour Community, another Anglo alt paper was shuttered.  Up the line in Ottawa the weekly X-Press bit the dust.

This raises the question:  what will I line my bird cage with a century from now?
