In all of this debate, I never stopped to realize one very important fact: I don't read my local paper(s). At all. Even though the <a href="http://mercurynews.com" rel="nofollow">San Jose Merc</a> is delivered, I never pick it up, and I rarely ever read it online. The <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/" rel="nofollow">San Francisco Chronicle</a> receives a the same amount of inattention from me. I admit to being guilty of not really caring about local news (living in the Silicon Valley, the only local news I care about is the Tech Business, and lord knows there's plenty of that news around). So… go ahead newspapers, put the content behind a paywall – I guess it doesn't really affect me. Fantastic point sir.
