If they losewhich is by no means impossiblewe all lose. The great task for editors and publishers is to respond to the competitive challenge caused by online news, and at the same time use their own online news to increase their profits (利润). As yet，they havent figured out a smooth and sure way to do that. So they cut some more to get profit. The cuts in size that they are making are in some cases risky and in others without considering the results. With every cut, publishers tirelessly argue that readers wont even know the difference. The trouble is that by the time customers do notice that they are getting less for their money，it will be too latetoo late to notice the reduction in the number of readers.

While there is plenty of tired deadwood among them，there is also a lot of talent. When experienced staff leave in large numbersas they often do nowthe newspaper loses great professional memory.

That meant beating out Miller King, who was the best player at our school.Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out. I carried my football everywhere for practice. Just before September, Miller was struck by a car and lost his right arm. I went to see him after he came back fromvacation. He looked very 5 , but he didnt cry. That season, I broke all of Millers records while hewatched the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player, 8 I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Millersaccident. One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Millerstuck going over a fencewhich wasnthardto climb if you had both arms.
