Let’s be civil. The Flathead Beacon encourages vigorous discussion and lively debate, but we will delete comments that attack other readers, make accusations we can’t verify, stray too far off topic, criticize local businesses (call them if you have a problem), convict someone of a crime, use profanity or are simply judged to be in bad taste. We don’t always have someone moderating comments, so we ask for your help: If you see a comment that violates these ground rules, or you simply deem it offensive, please e-mail editor [at] flatheadbeacon.com.

I sure hope people still care about newspapers. If they don’t now, they sure will after newspapers are gone.
Oh, and thanks for the nice plug, Lido. Best wishes!

Great story idea. Its interesting to see all those different design angles on the same topic.
People will continue to care about newspapers as long as they remain relevant to the wants and needs of their readers, and do so using their readers’ media of choice (not the other way around).
Stories have been told since the Stone Age. Only the medium of delivery changes - sometimes.
To remain on relevant, newspapers must do the things that people have always depended on them for: report the facts in as transparent a manner as possible, challenge people to converse / think / stretch, expose the shadows, touch hearts and minds, educate, and/or entertain.
When the paper is considered more important than the news printed upon it, trouble will follow.
