Jim Herd at San Francisco Citizen is among those who’ve noticed that the Examiner—which laid off at least seven staffers before the end of the year—has gotten page-skinny since the new Canadian owners took over:
Uh, could it be that last year’s Phillip Anschutz-owned Examiner was a better read than this year’s Examiner?
I mean, I saw the national editorial stuff in there all the time but I just scanned right through it, it didn’t bother me, I didn’t care.
But at least I had something else to read.
A couple of times recently I turned the pages of the New Examiner seven or so times thinking, seen it, seen it, horoscope, precious metals ad, and then that was it.
