I do agree that high quality journalism is fundamental to our society, I just don't think The Record is that path forward.
What do you see as the path forward, then? Why will it be better, and why will it be financially viable?
Questions I wish I had an answer to, but won't pretend to. My only point was that I don't see a way that The Record, even in a positive financial situation, will fill the journalistic requirements of our city (and I don't think they presently do, so it's not a loss to me). It's current ownership makes it more detached from and uninterested in our community than ever before, and I don't see a way back from that.
