Would the death of print screw Hispanic readers?

Something hasn’t seemed quite right about the whole “death of print” story lately. Several things, actually, but the one on our mind is this: If one newspaper survival strategy is to be “heavily centered on local news,” then wouldn’t niche publications be thriving? Theoretically, those publications speaking to a specific audience would have the best chance. For example, Spanish-language papers that bring local news to people who don’t get anything from most of the city’s publications.

Turns out they’re not doing so hot, either.

Like everyone else still using a printing press, Joe Arce, owner and publisher of KC Hispanic News, has felt the effects of industry changes compounded by a horrible economy.
