News Blues is reporting today that National Public Radio is cancelling all its newspaper subsciptions, effective immediately.

I would bet that NPR, with its national audience, will likely get many of their subscriptions comped, if the newspapers' marketing departments have anything to say about it.
Yesterday, they reported that the New York Times us unable to sell its corporate jet.
Really? Why would they have a jet still?
