Local Media Upheaval
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2013-03-20/local-media-upheaval
This week the conservative daily Washington Examiner announced a shift in its business model, moving from a daily to weekly print edition. The Examiner's move follows other big changes for local media, including The Washington Post's announcement that a paywall is coming soon for its most frequent online readers. Kojo examines the changes in the local media scene and looks ahead to how readers will get community news amid the upheaval.

I find the free delivery of the Examiner in my driveway a nuisance. Now that I have listened to your broadcast it is more than a nuisance when I learned that it has an obvious conservative bias. But worse than a nuisance, it is a security issue for me. If I am going to be travelling, I can suspend my regular newspaper subscription but the Examiner just piles up, a sign that no one is home.
