Why Shoot A Cadaver?

From the Associated Press:

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- As classified advertising, once the lifeblood of newspapers, has dried up, one constant has remained: a thick daily listing of government public notices. But legislative fights have put that at risk.​

Even in print journalism’s heyday it was the least effective way of advertising anything. Print as a propaganda force died the day television replaced radio in America’s households. (Radios lives on in automobiles.) In short: There is no reason to shoot a corpse:

Newspaper circulation is under 50 million in a nation of 320 million.

Rare is the citizen who actually reads these legal notices.​
