I just spent $4.82 for a Monday Orlando Sentinel newspaper.

Monday newspapers are the thinnest papers of the week. But I purchased it because of the headline. "FBI raids Mar-A-Lago"

Oddly, the other papers on the stand did not have any headline with that reference.

Oh, and I also discovered that the places that usually had periodical, don't carry them anymore. This includes a 7-11 and a BD Dalton bookstore in the Mall.

Sorry that newspapers are suffering, but truth is, they kind of did this to themselves. At least where I live, they sided with the wrong side, withholding critical information regarding land development issues, and endorsing candidates who were corrupt, but on board with the desired goals of the status quo.

It sucks, but people will always seek good sources of information, wherever they can find them.
