Great business decision.

I thought it was hilarious that they never had a mobile version.

I will be sad when the Star officially dies. I give them two more years, tops, before they sever printing completely and three more years limping along as some sort of crap blog.

CJOnline just added a pay wall too.

Luckily my parents still get the paper, so I used their address.

The Star is struggling, but it's truly remarkable that Knight Ridder is still around. They've been going under rapidly for the past decade.
