Detroit | Why papers nixed terror flight specials

"This is not that kind of world anymore is the way we look at it. This is the digital age."

-- Detroit Free Press Editor Paul Anger, talking to The New York Times about why the Gannett paper and The Detroit News didn't publish special home-delivery issues Dec. 26 on the attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound jet. The two papers last year discontinued home-delivery on all but Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
