...newspaper business was profitable then, very profitable. Some large dailies made margins of over 30%. The Internet as we know it would not be invented for nearly 25 years. (See 25 people to blame for the financial crisis.) The Pulitzer announcement must have brightened an otherwise dreary newsroom. If any regional economy is at risk for completely collapsing, it is the one around Detroit, where in some parts of that city unemployment is already close...
