“NEW YORK (AP) - The New York tabloid Daily News will cut half of its newsroom staff, saying it wants to focus more on digital news.
The paper was sold to tronc Inc. last year for $1, with the owner of the Chicago Tribune assuming liabilities and debt. In an email sent to staff Monday, tronc said staff at the Daily News will focus on breaking news involving "crime, civil justice and public responsibility."
Revenue and print circulation have been sliding at the newspaper for years, even as it provided critical coverage of health issues in public housing and for first responders after the Sept. 11 attacks.”

So the "new" paper will be titled "The Daily Trump Basher"??? I might have a shred of respect for Tronc, Inc. if it did so...
Buh Bye...

Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
Yeah the New York Daily News lost any semnlance of being a real news paper a while ago. No journalism, just hate. Even if I were a liberal, I'd be embarassed by/for them.

That's what they think they're doing now! I guess they're going to cut out all the stuff that might actually be true, like the sports scores and the obituaries.

I like they all keep crying that it's this 30% increase in paper costs due to EVIL TRUMP's tariffs that is driving them out of business, do they really believe we are that stupid?
