The Star needs to check out Seattle's paper

Okay, all the folks at The Star need, apparently, to study Seattle's newspaper, it seems.

Seattle was a two-newspaper town when The Post Intelligencer went out of business, leaving only The Seattle Times. Now, the paper says "a nearly forgotten word has crept back into Times executives’ vocabulary: profit."

And sure, it's one thing if you go from two papers to one, which Kansas City certainly can't do but still, maybe there are things the Star folks can learn from The Seattle Times.

It sure couldn't hurt.

So there you are, KC Star folks--get on the phone. Check out their paper online or go to the library and buy their papers. See if they have any solutions.

The Kansas City Star isn't much anymore but, as the saying goes, it's all we got.
