What the world is coming...

What the world is coming to?


The San Francisco Examiner is laying off all but six staffers and going to become a free daily. Now, with this kind of thing going on, where will alternative voices come from?


The Fang family, which owns the Ex, also owns a home-delivered newspaper, the Independent, which it will tout as a new alternative to the SF Chronicle. Yet, the Independent's web site is still undisclosed.


After all, two reporters, three editors and a columnist aren't going to be delivering much in the way of investigative journalism; they'll just recycle the wires. A good time for blogging to be emerging.
