[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Post had to cut back on spending, but I think they went about it the wrong way. They offered buyouts and guess who took them -- the skilled reporters who can easily get a job elsewhere. Then you're left with a bunch of second stringers. The second stringers didn't take buyouts because they know they're not easily employable elsewhere. For example, the front page currenty has an article about where they tested if you need to wash your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher -- leave that to Consumer Reports or Mythbusters. Or 13 Tips to make your job less stressful -- leave that to Buzzfeed. WP should focus on local news, and politics as those are their niche areas where they can excel.[/quote] The problem with cuts is that local coverage is the only reason to subscribe. I can get the NY Times or WSJ for national news. When NBC and WTOP have better local political coverage than the paper, there is no reason to subscribe to the paper [/quote]
