We expatriate flatlanders are forgiving, but that's the Promised Land you're talking about there. Just kidding. You're 100 percent right. I would even go so far as to say that a lot of newspapers decisions are being driven by a scarcity of resources, i.e. we have someone who knows Flash but no one who knows interactive databases. Or we have servers that can do this but not that. You can have plenty of resources and still not have the right ones. And, to feed your example: a 25k circ paper in Nebraska would be the third largest daily in the state, about 5,000 copies ahead of the Grand Island Independent. We build them small out there on the plains. You got a problem with Nebraska? We expatriate flatlanders are forgiving, but that’s the Promised Land you’re talking about there.
