The “article,” for paying subscribers, is entitled “Young reporter threatened; columnist told that his head is up his #*@”.
C’mon, man, we know what the readers are responding to: The hype stories from the new kid and that the closest thing that the paper has to a local columnist has been writing political diatribes knocking people skeptical of the Recurrent Unpleasantness instead of explaining what’s being built on such and such corner and what’s the story about that one thing we pass on our daily commute.
One wonders how much the article, for subscribers only, will reinforce a certain block of subscribers and how much the article will lead to cancelled or lapsed subscriptions.
I expect both, but for the Daily Dammit, Gannett to continue to shrink in size and subscriber base.
