Summary:
Newspaper closures around the country continue unabated -- recently, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announced it will shut its doors in May. These venerable papers had a vast bundle of monopoly information, but feisty startups are creating a "new bundle" and are thriving, according to Merrill Brown, founding editor of MSNBC, who is researching them at Syracuse University. He speaks with Host Llewellyn King and Co-host Adam Clayton Powell III.
