Meet Michael Stephens - He Has Quit on Print

February 9, 2008

I have seen the face of the newspaper industry’s business conundrum, and it belongs to Michael Stephens. Stephens — a librarian, library science instructor, tech enthusiast and blogger — recently posted “An Open Letter to the South Bend Tribune” on the occasion of canceling his print subscription. My discerning friend Tom Billiterri found it while rummaging online for hometown news of Indiana and forwarded it with the comment “a sign of the times.” I could excerpt and paraphrase, but the flavor is best savored by reading the whole thing. Stephens’ item is not particularly long, and it’s stated with some style.
