Watch the video below for a moving examination of the effect the elimination of a paper has upon its readership, who expect to be provided with news of their own activities; upon its community in general, who require a record for the purpose of historical data; and upon its personnel, who require an outlet for their skills so engrained that they know of no other way to carry on their lives.

And then go out and buy a copy of every newspaper you can get your hands on before its too late, a moment which may have already passed in your area without even making itself apparent.

Thanks are due to Dave Kellet for the heads up on this one (ironically, he’s a cartoonist whose work appears almost exclusively on-line, and he noticed this on Vimeo, and then I followed a link on his Twitter feed).
