Don’t Stop the Presses – Until Next Month
By Dan Friedman June 9, 2009
It’s hardly a secret that the once-ubiquitous print newspaper is heading for the recycling bin of history.
But sometimes the news hits closer to home than others. Last month, the newspaper trade magazine Presstime issued a strident proclamation
DON’T STOP THE PRESSES (see photo)
This month, the New York Times reported that Presstime was becoming an online only publication.
Perhaps next month’s cover could be
DON’T STOP THE RECESSION!
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
