Maybe it’s because I’m tired, but for a moment I thought we were talking about Hong Kong. If I can’t keep straight in my head which country is having its press shut down, we live in sad times. In America, we don’t have press shut down, as much as it becomes “sponsored.” Someone decides to run it at a loss, or close to one. Quality goes down, advertising goes up, and ideology seeps in. Lots of “small town papers” are just brands managed by conglomerates.
