The Hearst Corporation has announced that the last edition of The Seattle Post-Intelligencer will be published today (Tuesday) US time. Read how the newspaper is covering the closure of its print edition here. They are maintaining the online brand - the closure is of the print edition only. Seattle is another major US city to move to one-newspaper status.
Newsagents know about and share in the costs of newspaper distribution. They are a reason that Australian publishers are not currently under the same pressure as US newspaper publishers.
Here in Australia, if a publisher does a home delivery deal, the newsagent carries a portion of the cost, the discount. In the US, my understanding is that the publisher carries the cost of subscription deals.
