I wish I had a dollar for

I wish I had a dollar for every time somebody told me the Tribune was going down the tubes. I've been hearing it for 7 years now.

The Columbian just laid off 30 full-time staff. Are you playing taps for them too? And the Oregonian has been losing staff through attrition and early buyouts for some time now. Are you writing their eulogy?

Print journalism is a tough market to be in right now and made only tougher by the recession we appear to be entering. And print journalism isn't the only industry that's making cuts to deal with market pressures.

I don't know how the Tribune is doing, business-wise, but I don't think there's much evidence that it's doing any worse than any of it's local competitors (Oregonian, Columbian, Willamette Week, Mercury, etc...).
