The only thing the PG obsesses about is digital, digital digital. Of course they just lost the editor-savior whose somewhat overblown vision was going to take them digital. She was smart enough to see where things were going and bailed. She's not alone. Some of what gets into the print PG is determined by how similar stories play digitally. Print should still be a big factor here since a lot of older people prefer a physical paper. That doesn't matter to the powers that be. Cut back home delivery, they say. In its own way it's indeed a "vanity operation." Its publisher likes to delude himself into thinking he's creating his version of the New York Times. He's not. The PG is collapsing and they don't have a clue how to proceed. Charging more per copy and offering less won't work. That simple logic seems beyond their Ivy League comprehension.
