Two questions:
1) What does this mean for Michael Miner? and
2) What does this mean for the readers of the Reader?
-- MrJM
Nothing immediate. All we know is that there are no planned layoffs.
Dead serious question that is NOT related to who owned, owns, or will own the Reader:
How does an individual reader of the Reader, who wants to see it continue and thrive, support it?
Obviously, I should pick up the paper weekly, patronize the advertisers when I can, and recommend the paper to others. I should visit the web site, read the blogs, and click the sponsor links. In those infrequent times when I have some thing or some service or some place to sell, I should place classified or display advertising.
Is that it? What else can I do?
I don't want to miss the Reader when its gone....
