"Honolulu's newspaper rivalry has become a luxury that the city no longer can afford."
The Star-Bulletin will be merged tomorrow, Monday, with the late lamented Honolulu Advertiser, as Honolulu loses daily newspaper competition since both these papers started about 150 years ago, when Hawaii was still a sovereign nation ruled by a monarchy.
The new paper will be called the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
But If this self-serving statement is the sort of editorial opinion we can expect from the new Star-Advertiser, we are in a lot more trouble than we thought.
Forget the weeping and wailing by fired employes and social critics and journalism professors.
Take a listen to what advertisers are saying about Honolulu's new print monopoly.
Oh--you didn't see any newspaper stories about that?
That's odd.
