George Johnson is often attributed in convincing Flames' management to fire Terry Crisp. Not sure if that's true or not.

Article readers have never really paid for newspapers. Classified and job postings (A one week 1/16 two color job ad in the CH was $450 back in the day) was the real revenue generator and was what paid the writers' salaries.

A few months ago I found a CH from the late nineties. What was striking was the lack of in-page ads and the mega thick classified section.

This is an industry that doesn't even know where they got their money from. No wonder they're at death's door.
