They only show up at the robust events

"Local politicians, who often show up to trumpet good jobs news, were nowhere in evidence..."

Adding this here since it's on the topic.  From the looks of things, I don't see what course of action on the part of readers is going to make much of a difference here.  I suppose they could boycott the paper which would only kill it faster and no doubt strengthen Newhouse's contention that it is unsustainable.  Or they could mount a subscription drive in which case Newhouse will simply stay its current course. 

The only thing I could possibly conceive of that might work would be a brand new competing publication.  But the resources necessary to make such a thing succeed are non-existent.
