When those monks finally realized that there were no longer any business models remaining for their traditional practices, at least they found other things to produce (beer, cheese, etc.)

Is it true that Arthur Sulzberger Jr. and Janet Robinson have invested in a winery outside New Paltz? ;^)

One MAJOR problem: if its as simple as adding value, why hasn’t anyone been able to add it? (I’m speaking specifically about local newspapers, where most journalists are employed). It ain’t easy out here, my friend.
