That is a massive blow to very concept of a national newspaper like the Post or maybe soon the New York Times as well. Did I say newspaper? Opps, meant to say "snailpaper". The Internet is changing the very way we get the news and report the news, and as much as I prefer hands-on reading of a print newswpaper, to mark up and cut out clippings (remember those?) and keep them around my living room floor for a few days after reading them, the future is with E-Ink and screenpapers, and journalists, the new breed that is, will do their jobs from a new perch. It really is a new world acomin'....... NOW! One chaper closing, a new chapter beginning. Life goes on. For those of us with stents in our hearts, and the rest of you in good health. Stay healthy, everyone! Chris, very good post re Washington Post closing national bureaus.
