Well-written story regarding an issue that has not received much press in the U.S. The quotes are all from citizens, so no high-ranking officials weigh in on the issue.

The story makes one of the parties out to be the villain, which makes the story seem more unbalanced.
I don't know if it is supposed to be news or not, but this felt more like an editorial that bashed those involved.

The piece itself is short and more of a thought experiment than a news story. The author uses numbers that work to his advantage and are disputed in the comments, but it doesn't change the genius of his idea.
The article itself is short and well done, but the real value is in the comments. The author and those leaving comments engage in a high-level discussion about the topic of news room ownership that brings to light other points of view and help me re-evaluate what I've just read. It's a great format for this kind of thought experiment.

While I liked the story, I think it could have done more. This is not a new topic-- with new technologies comes the question of whether print sources can compete. The new idea presented here is multi-tasking. It's possible kids are reading as much as they used to-- only they are also listening to music or talking on AIM as they read. I think it's easy to just claim books are goners and the author took the easy road.
