Newspaper Convention Canceled

It's hard to have a convention if no one's left to attend:

An annual convention of newspaper editors has been canceled for the first time since World War II, undone by the worst economic crisis since that harrowing era.

The American Society of Newspapers Editors' decision to skip this year's meeting was announced Friday, coinciding with the final edition of the Rocky Mountain News—the largest daily U.S. newspaper to shut down so far during a steep two-year slide in advertising revenue that's draining the life out of the industry.

Between online version and Craigslist, there really isn't must reason to buy a physical newspaper anymore.

I canceled mine a couple of months ago.
