Change is a mixed bag. Where news organizations are concerned, the broad trend seems to be away from print and toward electronic ways of gathering and disseminating information and entertainment. As recently as a few decades ago, people would turn first to the newspaper for news. Most major cities and quite a few minor ones had two or three newspaper enterprises. As radio and television matured, things changed.
Electronic media gather news as quickly as papers, but can disseminate it at the speed of light.
And this evening paper has a long and distinguished history stretching back to when newspapers were king of the fourth estate. Time and change being what they are, however, newspapers now rule a diminished kingdom. The spinning front page of sensational news has become a cliche in certain antique movie genres. Neither Clark Kent nor The Man of Steel himself could save the Daily Planet from an inglorious future of escalating production costs and shrinking readership. So it's not too surprising to see Amarillo finally joining the ranks of other one-paper towns.
