In 2012, when Advance Publishing Company announced that the New Orleans Times-Picayune would cease publication 7 days a week, it seemed that yet another great American city would lose its remaining daily newspaper. And, while the comeback story of the New Orleans Advocate/ Times-Picayune was a hit, the next sequel might be more somber.
