Yes, indeed. Give the paper away for free and possibly make money.
The Boston Globe, too, might survive if it can go down on its price and cut costs including payroll – otherwise go broke and out of business.
Win or lose, at least GateHouse is trying on the Cape – and no doubt an annoyance to Cape Cod Times.
