ReplyDeleteMy daughter was at the Charlotte Observer to meet with a photographer that is acting as her Senior Project mentor. She said it was crazy with people coming in and buying the paper for it's historical significance.

I recently crossed the Rubicon, as they say, to the all-online journalism world. However, you don't get rid of the decades of ink that runs through your veins overnight. I was THRILLED that newspapers were back in demand, even for a day. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I just checked the MNI stock price - now below $2 a share, headed toward less than $1 share. This is alarming.

Can you grow ANY business as penny stock?
