I guess this may have been answered elsewhere many times, but… What exactly is the fate of the PI globe? Does it stop spinning tonight? Does it stay spinning as long as there’s an online version? Is it getting removed?
we weren’t wondering.
but we would like an option to read SLOG with your posts filtered out Eli.
RIP, PI 🙁
Not paying that bill!
Thanks for the heads up. I won’t be getting the Times. That shit just stinks.
But @2 do you not care enough to not burden the rest of us with your inane, pointless commments?
Noooooooooooooo
Hearst Corporation pull plug on Seattle P-I print edition, Seattle P-I publish final print edition, freak out, online-only out, SEATTLE P-I BECOME ONLINE-ONLY NEWSPAPER!
ONLINE-ONLY SEATTLE P-I WILL SMASH ONLINE-ONLY SEATTLE TIMES!
And no, I don’t feel like letting it go.
@2: Did you have to work at being a jerk or did you just get into it naturally?
Oh goody:
“We just sealed a new partnership with Hearst Magazines that will give us great new health and wellness and @home content from Cosmopolitan, Country Living, Esquire, Good Housekeeping, House Beautiful, Marie Claire, Popular Mechanics and Redbook.”

If anyone at The Stranger is interested in doing real journalism tonight:
The Seattle Times’ plan to automatically convert P-I subscribers is a violation of Washington State Law regarding unsolicited goods.
After TCI Cable (remember them) automatically signed people up for premium channels, (requiring them to cancel them), the Times itself was at the forefront, protesting “Negative Option Marketing.”

This ploy to keep subscribers — by doing the service of taking their money for a product they never ordered — should be subject to a class action suit.
Washington State Law goes so far to call-out NEWSPAPERS specifically for not engaging in this sort of nonsense.

Go get ’em Stranger. 100,000 people have just been told that they are going to owe money for a product they haven’t specifically ordered.
THAT is against the law in this state.
conde nast did this to me with jane magazine. they just transferred my subscription to glamour (!) and then sold my name to every one of their crap magazines. It took me 2 years, 25 emails and 2 written paper letters to get myself off of their mailing list.
