"The company will also discontinue local zoning, in which the paper distributes different editions to four regions in Central Massachusetts. There will be one section for local news. "

Financially, I believe that losing the local zoning is a good move, why print four editions?...but an absolute shame for those employees being cut.

We just posted briefly on this.

Sad news for our T&G friends.

How depressing! Especially on the heels of the Worcester Magazine sale. The T&G can be rather light on content, yet I still read it every day for daily local news and columnists.

It's a column like Clive McFarland's "Robbing Peter means not paying Paul" that keeps me tuned into the T&G. A fantastically blunt take on a problematic local issue.

I'm guilty of accessing the Web content without paying...I think I'll actually sign up for a subscription, even if it's too little too late.

Yeah Erin that is a great article. And then you read the comments and almost everyone on there tells him he's an idiot.

Ahhh, Worcester.

Another important difference is that Worcester Magazine was starting to make money again this year. The big daily papers across the country have been suffering, but papers like Worcester Magazine have been holding their own. I think that has a large part to do with the roll they play in the market.

you print 4 editions because that is your only competitive advantage...Are you going to try to go toe-to-toe with the Times or Globe?

capitalism.

adapt or die.
