Techdirt: And They Wonder Why People Don't Like Newspapers Anymore?

Carlo writes over on techdirt.com:

If you wanted to point out all the things newspapers have gotten wrong in the age of the internet, you wouldn't have to look too far. Newspapers have pretty much across the board, been bereft of good ideas on how to compete, whether it's in the stories they cover and how they cover them, or in the classifieds.

But the online edition of today's Austin American-Statesman business section takes the cake in ineptitude: republishing ten stories that range from a few months to a few years old, noting that they are in fact being republished, but never explaining why.
