This isn't Kevin Lewis's piece, but it is a good Uncommon Knowledge idea. Also, it is well-written piece about a concept.

Add Sticky Note
Losing more than a newspaper
IN CASE YOU haven't noticed, newspapers are in trouble. However, aside from concern for newspaper staff, it's easy to assume that society will do fine with just the Internet, radio, and television. A new study out of Princeton challenges this assumption. The Cincinnati Post was one of two papers covering the Cincinnati area up until the end of 2007, when it had to shut down upon the expiration of a partnership agreement with the other (more popular) newspaper in the area. Although the Post had a circulation of only 27,000 in its last year, its closure had a number of deleterious effects on Cincinnati's Kentucky suburbs, where the Post was the primary source of coverage: lower voter turnout, fewer candidates for city councils, commissions, and school boards, and easier elections for incumbents.
