I'd be interested to see how much the AP membership cost compares with the money that will be used to provide that content locally.

I thought this was interesting, too.

Encouraging existing staff to write more and employing new writers gives us a higher degree of flexibility and results in a product which is more relevant to the young, professional audience we, and our advertisers, seek.

Re: Metro dump AP

Metro really needs AP. I know they are having tough times but I question whether its staff is in tuned to what is really going on locally and I'm speaking from the Metros that I've read from various markets.

I think I'd like to work for Tony Metcalf and Metro USA.
