I noted with interest that sports journalist Jay Mariotti has resigned from the Chicago Sun-Times. He walked out Wednesday afternoon and his parting remark was that newspapers are dying.
Jay is a frequent guest, substitute host and analyst on ESPN. He was with the Sun-Times for 17 years.
His major gripe was how his newspaper handled its website. His idea is that 'paper' newspapers will soon become extinct and only those organizations with the slickest, most up-to-date websites will survive.
I tend to agree with him.

IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL IT'S OVER
NEWSWIRE--Sports columnist Jay Mariotti has resigned from the Chicago Sun-Times, saying that there is no future for sportswriting in newspapers.
The sportswriter's bromide on corporate accounts is:
"The fat lady's sung," or "The way the ball bounces."
He once had assignments to tryouts and playoffs;
Now he's resigned to skip buyouts and layoffs.
