The TKC Communiqué - The Day The Newspaper Died
By Tony • Issue #47 • View online
Normally I try to make this news blasts early in the day or afternoon but this one might just be a turning point … And hopefully something more significant than when Fonzie jumped that shark.
The basics …
The Kansas City Star doesn’t matter anymore.
Remember in early 200s when people wondered “what will we ever do without newspapers?!?!”
The answer was easy … Watch TV.
And so, as the Internets slowly evolves into handheld pocket television, laptop viewing and tablet viewing for people on the toilet.
It turns out life goes on without dead-tree media.
Accordingly, here’s more than a handful of news & reviews we wanted to share with our favorite readers …

Local Look . . .

And So . . .
We’re going to leave that top headline on the blog for a minute and comeback with more news given that Kansas City can no longer rely on the privately-owned hedge fund newspaper to at least offer the semblance of fact … Which, of course, makes our job just a bit more fun.
Take care.
Hope you found some of this useful. And we hope to see you sometime tomorrow.
Peace,
Tony
