Kurtz: Radical Changes -- Even an Undercover Operation -- at 'San Jose Mercury News'

Posted
By: Joe Strupp Did the San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News send staff members out undercover to ask readers what they thought of the paper? According to The Washington Post, they did.

The result: a new plan that has more staffers moving to Web-side operations and has already cut some columnists, some Sunday comics, and even the Sunday Op-Ed section. Is the Merc really trying to "blow itself up"?
