Dying Newspapers and the Fate of Morning Papers
The essay argues that morning newspapers are dying and unlikely to return after the war. It critiques the idea of a true morning paper, noting that presses start late, news arrives in the day, and evening papers dominate with morning editions as weak, unprofitable reprints. It cites Los Angeles Tribune’s demise and contrasts historic papers like The Times and Tribune with evolving industry realities.
