Then, they'd no longer be 7-day dailies, at least.Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075757287807731373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532871.post-17381692019269906592014-10-03T18:46:01.206-05:002014-10-03T18:46:01.206-05:00Ah, I see where I said LAT non-daily by 2014.

I thought maybe it was a typo and you meant 2015, which would be dire enough.<br /><br />Fair enough on the (NY) Times, which I had read earlier but didn't reference at the time of updating this piece.<br /><br />I'm skeptical of mobile/device world in general, myself.
