Our hearts go out to the Berkeley community upon news that it is losing another newspaper. The Chronicle reported today that the Berkeley Daily Planet will stop printing because of an unbridgeable gap of "hundreds of thousands" of dollars.
The owners, Becky and Mike O’Malley, will continue to publish the paper online, they said, and retain their sole reporter. But it’s hard to believe that the print cessation of theweekly paper that reportedly reached 40,000 won’t affect the community.
