sfbgvsweekly.jpgThey really are fighting over something that is a dead issue now. Because the model of journalism that these guys are fighting over is in deep trouble.

Look, I know everyone’s tired of hearing about the legal tussle between the SF Bay Guardian and the SF Weekly, but this article from The Stranger is the most comprehensive piece I’ve read on this story to date.

If you give even the remotest of shits about local media, then take the time to read this (long but very interesting!) article.
