It's all over for the print edition of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Seattle's oldest newspaper and oldest business. The March 17 edition will be its last.
Emphasis, however, on print: the P-I will live on in electronic form, though with a much smaller staff. It'll be interesting to see how it does against outfits like Crosscut.com and TechFlash. (As the New York Times hints, those—not the Seattle Times—are now its true competition.)
Good luck to the new P-I and to those who are losing their jobs, and let's hope this is the start of something good rather than the beginning of the end of local journalism.
