New Orleans to lose its daily newspaper.
The biggest metropolitan region in Louisiana, New Orleans, will soon lose its last daily newspaper. As the Cincinnati Enquirer continues to cut staff and reduce print size, what might the downsizing of the Times-Picayune forecast for Cincinnati? More from Next American City:

This disruption chips away at the image of an ascendant New Orleans.
