It's a shame. I still subscribe to the digital edition. It still has some great reporting and editorials.

Well researched, well thought through, balanced news is, unfortunately, a niche taste. If you're really into news, and you have the budget, you might subscribe to two or three outlets that have a location in the name, like "Washington." But I think generic names like CBS, CNN, or MS Now are more likely to succeed.
