I did like our local paper till about 3 weeks ago.  We actually got both the Chicago Tribune and the Daily Southtown for the longest time.  The Daily Southtown was part of the Sun Times conglomerate, and they decided to merge it with The Star paper.  Now, I have been through changes before with the Southtown, and I am usually willing to give change a chance.  However, this time, I was disappointed.  Not only did they change the look, there was less news for me to read.  There was no waiting to see what happens.  The paper made it clear that this was the new look and the new paper.  I canceled it.  Note to newspapers:  even when you merge, you shouldn’t completely change everything!
