Anyway, generally the community abandoned them because the community was not being served. They didn't have a publisher; they just had an office manager. They didn't have the local input.
In the places where they do have the local input or a locally based person with locally based authority to make those decisions, they do not too badly. I mentioned how a locally owned, vested interest in the community is, in my opinion, the only model that will ever get us through this. It is the only model that has ever worked with a family-owned operation for over 100 years, as Mr. Lever said.
