Three guys who killed the newspapers


Editor's note: The following essay was written by the late John Walter, who served as executive editor of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and was a founding editor of USA Today....



I want to say that there are three people in the world responsible for [newspapers'] demise, and -- because I have always loved newspapers, even when they weren't on my porch or in my driveway -- I want to say I'm mad at them about it. And, therefore, I want to record for posterity who they are, and why we should be mad at them.

Only one of the three is responsible -- Neuharth and his Gannett henchmen. Their list of crmes is endless.
