Detroit Dailies to Curtail Home Delivery

The Publisher of the Detroit Free Press, the country's 20th largest paper according to weekday circulation, is expected to announce next week that it will cease home delivery of the print edition of the newspaper on most days of the week. 

More newspapers are considering cutting back home delivery as well due to declined costs and decreasing revenues.

I think this is interesting. I think that we are moving to a world that is going to be more electronic. I think that papers are going to be phased out eventually and replaced by online electronic papers. They are more convienient and cut down on paper waste which is more environmentally freindly.

Caitlin, I agree that its good that the Detroit Free Press is switching to an electronic version. I am guessing though that they did this not to go green, but rather to save money in our struggling economy.
