Wrongicle To Be Shuttered?
W
hat we do without that source of endless bemusement and artery-scrubbing blood pressure surges, the SF Wrongicle? Life without Marc Morford? Where would the guffaws come from?
But it just might happen as Bloomberg reports:
Hearst Corp. may sell or close the San Francisco Chronicle if the publisher can’t make cost-saving measures, including job cuts, “within weeks.”
The Wrongicle hasn’t turned a profit since at least 2001and circulation fell another 7.1 percent in the last six months … which should put it at about 17 and a half. And here I thought San Franciscans were so much smarter than the rest of us – surely the sort of people who read newspapers.
Maybe it’s just that newspapers have such huge carbon footprints …

Except for some of Jon Carrol’s stuff–if he is still there there hasn’t been anything worth reqadin the Comical since Herb Caen died–and he had gotten a little marginal.
He called it the “Daily Fish Wrap” but there haven’t been any proper fish stores for years.
I though all the expensive stuff was done in the Examiner plant.

Greetings:I live in the SF area. Three years ago, I took out a subscription for $20. The next year, it was $40. This year, they wanted $102. Sounds like a business plan to me.Wrongicle?? aka SF Comical.
