In one of the stupidest, most arrogant decisions by a newspaper company, Denver based Media News has announced they will stop Monday delivery of 3 east bay papers, including the venerable Oakland Tribune.
The paper will still be printed, but you will have to go to a store to buy a copy. So Raider fans won't be able to read about the game the next day, no first of the week news articles, etc.
I'm not that surprised. When this company bought the San Jose Mercury, the first stories out were about what a bad company this was. A month ago, they were going to count all the issues bought of all the different papers as Mercury News sales.
Three other papers won't be published at all. the company is calling it "Digital Monday". Meaning you want the paper, go online. Well, not everyone has access to a computer at home or at work. It's just an arrogant decision that disregards the customers desire for information. I'm sure the Republican Party backs the decision, but it is not something a democracy should be embracing.
