Sad about this. I think I was the only (moderately) young person who read The Record, based on the polls I answered etc, but I’m going to miss flipping through the pages.
I definitely used to look forward to Thursday publication date even just a couple of years ago. Always exciting to see what made the lead story (and the awesome photos that Jennifer Gauthier would always nail for the cover shot)
I think digital-only is only going to make the current situation worse. I love it for local news but hate the corporate/non-local stuff that's forced down the chain from Glacier Inc and all the rage-baiting letters. At least on physical paper there was a limit to the space given the need to publish local stuff. Online they can include as much as they like.
