No UT on the list though. I think the UT will continue to stick around in some form for the foreseeable future - hopefully someone will buy them soon and sack all the barnacled management that's anchoring down what could be a great local paper again someday (sans Copley).
And I definitely don't see them going "digital" anytime soon - signon is still a pile of junk. They need to either completely restructure their signon team with some decent web designers or outsource the design to a company with some talent. I'm a big fan of the layout of sites like latimes.com and nytimes.com. — March 12, 2009 4:16 p.m.
