Will all the country’s small news­pa­pers give up on their cities?

A long time ago, the Min­neapo­lis Star and Tri­bune changed its name to the Star Tri­bune. The Cincin­nati Enquirer is now the Enquirer. My favorite (by name), the Cleve­land Plain Dealer, is now sim­ply the Plain Dealer.

I like it when the city name is part of the newspaper’s title, though I can’t explain why.
