Star Tribune "Winter Adventure" article

Smith Diving must have some fans at the Trib.  Congrats on the good press.

The idea of paying for news is almost quaint in the digital world.  The challenge for traditional news organizations is that anybody with a mobile smartphone and twitter account is now a competitor.  Everyone is a news reporter and editor. I'm not saying all reporters are created equal but an individual now has the same sized distribution channel as a major news organization.

I buy the newspaper because my wife wants to read it. I would be perfectly happy reading the online edition.
