Sale
On April 19, 2012, the East Bay Express reported that the Canadian owners of the San Francisco Examiner were in negotiations with the Bay Guardian to buy the newspaper.
BeyondChron said about the paper's demise:
The SFBG never successfully transformed itself for the Internet era, failing to hire staff that understood new media and could grow online readership and revenue. It is stuck in the past technologically, ideologically and substantively, acting as this were the 1970s and 1980s and the SFBG was still the voice of a developing local progressive movement. The SFBG never adjusted to San Francisco's increased wealth and changing racial and ethnic demographics, and was particularly disconnected from the city's growing Chinese-American community.

Famous quotes containing the word sale:
“[T]he dignity of parliament it seems can brook no opposition to it’s power. Strange that a set of men who have made sale of their virtue to the minister should yet talk of retaining dignity!”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“I keep thinking that what I need
to do is buy my leg back.
Surely it is for sale somewhere,
poor broken tool, poor ornament.
It might be in a store somewhere beside a lady’s scarf.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“I hate this shallow Americanism which hopes to get rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on midnight tables, to learn the economy of the mind by phrenology, or skill without study, or mastery without apprenticeship, or the sale of goods through pretending that they sell, or power through making believe you are powerful, or through a packed jury or caucus, bribery and “repeating” votes, or wealth by fraud.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
