The Capital Times, the 90-year-old daily afternoon newspaper of Madison, Wisconsin, is eliminating its print edition and becoming an online-only publication. While the Times was once a legendary voice of enlightened progressivism, battling Wisconsin Senator Joe McCarthy and serving as a voice to Madison's notoriously liberal citizenry, the new electronic edition of the paper will mostly be based around a local web portal and entertainment listings, as that's where the ad money is. More than 20 newsroom staffers lost their jobs, with each now-former journalist receiving a profile written, apparently, by one of their laid-off colleagues, in some sort of sick newspaper-shuttering Bataan Death March.
