Newspapers falling on hard times

For anyone who enjoys reading an actual newspaper rather than a point and click edition, we may be seeing the demise of some prominent publications. If you have noticed our own Press Journal here in Vero Beach, you've seen it get smaller and thinner over the past year to the point it looks like the anorexic version of its former self. The question you have to ask is with cutbacks in editorial staffs around the country, who's going to keep tabs on the people we elect to public office? Democracy depends on a free press, not a dividend-paying corporation.
