New 'info ecosystem' a denuded place

For months, there has been nothing but bad news about the troubled print media in the United States. Still, I was shocked to hear that The Seattle Post-Intelligencer stopped printing on Tuesday and now exists only online.

For one thing, my boss worked at The Post-Intelligencer for three months about 20 years ago. Now and then, he still shares stories of his days in the news room, where he honed his skills not only as a reporter and editor, but also as a newspaper manager.

In the early 1990s, two journalists from The Post-Intelligencer spent about a year working as copy editors at China Daily. Their hard work and professionalism helped to improve the articles we wrote and the pages we put out.
