Why are newspapers done? Because they come out a day too late. It's all the news today that we already knew yesterday.
That's bad enough- but what about those papers that come out more than a week after the editorial deadline? Like one part of the Tennessean:
The Tennessean published an interview with Steve McNair in some editions of a special weekly section. The interview, promoting the opening of his new restaurant last month in Nashville, was printed and packaged before the quarterback's death last Saturday.Oops.
