Following the lead of Seattle Post-Intelligencer, it's going online only:
Starting in October the Belltown Messenger will become "online-only" as we trade print expenses (big) for web expenses (small) in order to keep our beloved publication alive. We'll be exchanging print ad dollars for web ad pennies—a deal with the Internet advertising devil that will provide meager sustenance for our eccentric neighborhood media outlet as we plow forward into an uncertain age.
Farewell. And hello!
