The Times, The Times and the future of newspapers

Posted by Ryan Blethen

In its Monday business section that focuses on media The New York Times had a story about The Seattle Times. The story tells a much different tale than the common belief that newspapers are dead. I knew the other Times was working on a piece about us so I was pleased when it came out Monday the day after my column, which says that there is a future for newspapers.
