the 941

We meant to get to this about 24 hours ago — yesterday Gawker weighed in on CL’s purchase of the Reader and City Paper. The conversation over at the Reader’s blog — which Gawker accurately described as filled with “cynicism and wariness of an outsider” — is still going on. But there’s a fair bit of optimism in the comments as well, an important part of the story; CL clearly wants to be publishing newspapers and is excited about the future of the industry, which is more than can be said for several papers (alt and otherwise) across the country. We expect the debate will continue for a while, as it should, and eventually the confusion will clear and the dust will settle. In the meantime, we’d just like to clear one thing up: we were never a member of SDS.

We think.

Thanks to EC for the link.
