More paper-cuts

The newspaper industry continues to shrink. We noted the staff cuts a few days ago, and now we note The Boston Herald cutting the paper itself -- by about six pages:
The cuts were as follows: one news page; one sports page; two business pages, including a listing of financial tables; and two features pages.
That'll pull in the readers.

Okay, I'll admit it: I can't see what else they can do. The fact is there are fewer readers, therefore fewer advertisers, therefore fewer pages. The problem the industry faces is ... where does the cycle end?
