Newspaper coverage of the automakers' future was scarce in Detroit yesterday.

I had forgotten about the timing of this until the Wall Street Journal pointed it out. As the Obama administration pushed GM and Chrysler closer to bankruptcy yesterday, Detroit's newspapers were beginning their new system of distribution. Under the plan, there's no home delivery on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Those readers are expected to get their news online or visit a newsstand.
