News & Observer subscriber sues over staff cuts
If only this had a chance to work: A subscriber to the Raleigh News & Observer sues because the paper’s staff cuts make the paper less valuable — and breach his contract with them after he resubscribed.
In a phone interview today, Keith Hempstead, 42, said he could cancel his subscription but filed the suit to make a point.
“I wanted to get the newspaper’s attention and the news industry’s attention,” said Hempstead, who is a former reporter at the Fayetteville Observer, adding that he loves The News & Observer.
Now, is there anything Keith can do to “get the attention” of retail advertisers, classified employment advertisers, and Wall Street?
