I gave up on the Oregonian long before this current economic crisis. Why?   Content.  The Oregonian had more advertising for department stores/cell phones/autos than actual news. And most of the international/nation news was from other sources.  Business coverage was non-existant.

I opted for the print edition of the New York Times.  Seven days a week.  The Sunday times has more news than a month worth of the Oregonian.

Even today, the Sunday Oregonian boasts "$120 worth of coupons".  What am I buying?  Advertising or content?
