Valued Reader-

If you've followed Voice of San Diego at all over the last decade, you know we've been making a point that news ecosystem is in deep trouble as newspapers continue to struggle to find a business model to the future.

Readers who value in-depth reporting will have pay for it if it is to survive into the future. HBO's John Oliver told the story in a much much funnier way than we ever have. (Note: the video contains strong language.)

This is worth 19 minutes of your time. And when he makes the point that we need to support local journalism, well, you know what to do.
