[Unassisted]

I didn't read the article, but in my 4 decades-plus on the planet, I've lived in two 2-newspaper towns that became 1-newspaper towns when a JOA expired. Some of the biggest newspapers in the country are treading water these days, because the people who've been on the planet for fewer decades than I have mostly get their news from the Net. In that business climate, it's hard to envision a scenario for setting up a brand-new separate operation for a daily newspaper.

In other words, it doesn't look good for the Post. Enjoy your afternoon paper while you can get it.
