The TS has been in a downward spiral as they continue to make the wrong moves in a changing media environment. If the news is just rehashed feed from a provider and the local news comes from politically motivated hacks who don't bother to do some investigating before reporting, this paper will have a few years max before it folds. Smaller news outlets like the NCJ, Lost Coast Communications and (GASP) even blogs have been able beat the TS to a surprising number of news stories and gain relevance with their readers that can't be earned with 3 day old rehashed stories. Maybe they should offer a deal to Arkley to buy the paper as the Eureka Reporter was the last daily paper that seemed to give a shit about putting out a quality daily paper. Even if you don't agree with his politics, the paper was much better written and proofread than the TS. I guess that's why the TS sued it out of existence.
