The whole &quot;pageviews, pageviews, pageviews&quot; is about chasing ever diminishing returns on ads from networks like Googles.<p>Perhaps the next owner can buy just the trademark for a small amount and build a zero-office, zero-print, paid subscription model which will fund an editor, some journalists, and a photographer to cover their beats. And perhaps a &quot;better-user-experience-than-craigslist&quot; classified section and a maybe a place to find out what is on sale in the neighborhood groceries and department stores.
