Cincinnati CityBeat The Cincinnati Post, which has operated under a JOA with the Enquirer since 1977, is expected to cease publication in December. What should it do in its final months? Some suggestions:
* Former Post reporter and editor
Dan Andriacco: "With input from the staff, I would decide on a handful of issues to cover in-depth in a way that could make a difference."
* Enquirer A&E editor and former Post staffer
Paul Clark: "Go long. Throw the bomb. Don't worry about all of the paper-of-record stuff. Pull your best people off the grind and do the stories you've dreamed of doing. Let The Post bite the dust with guns blazing."
* Editor & Publisher's
Mark Fitzgerald: "If you want to do something truly radical, maybe go free. I'd spend that last year as an experiment that the rest of the industry could see if it catches fire at all." ||
