How not to help your newspaper

One rule would be to hang on to the really good writers, like Mark Steyn. Until the publishers and editors pull their heads out and wake up to the fact that conversatives constitute a large part of the public and that they're sick of being ignored and condescended to, they'll continue to lose readership. When you've got a columnist as smart, knowledgeable and witty as Mark Steyn, you ought to treat him as more valuable than any editor.
