CNN on Disappearing Comics

January 13th, 2009
Author Troy Brownfield

Todd Leopold, CNN.com’s Entertainment Producer, took up the tale of woe that is modern newspaper comic strips in today’s Marquee Blog.  Our own J. Caleb Mozzocoo has been tracking this, as have other bloggers and news venues without number.  Leopold points to the fact that the Atlanta Journal-Constitution actually slashed their comic strip output from two full pages to one.   Leopold’s overall insights are pretty familiar by this point (the impact of the internet, the diminishing role of the print news in general, etc.). It is, however, significant to see CNN take notice.
