even though I and man others knew 2 years ago it was inevitale. Newsprint is expensive, as are all the people (all unionized) who operate the presses.

I designed thousands of newspaper pages as an editor (and delivered thousands of papers when I was a kid). I took pride in a well-designed page.

I guess that could still be done if a paper chooses to have a .pdf version, but few do that.

It's the gradual end of an era. Sigh...
