Yes, I know...the Rocky was a moderate paper....
The P-I will live on as an online publication, albeit with a much smaller staff. Another Hearst publication, the San Fransisco Chronicle might also end its ink-and-paper version. But I can't imagine it shutting down its much-visited SFGate.com.
It appears we are at the beginning of a massive culling of newspapers, the biggest since the popularity of television news shows killed almost every daily afternoon paper in America beginning in the late 1960s.
What will emerge at the other end of the media tunnel? I don't know. Blogs, or the next generation of what you are reading now will be a part of it. Exactly how? The ones who figure that out will end up quite wealthy.
