Good.
It looks like it was a small local newspaper that broke this story initially. I wonder what will happen when most of the local newspapers die in the next few years? The internet is great for some news sources, but will anyone be covering local news like this anymore? The story was initially a small one. "Georgia Supreme court refuses to hear appeal." That happens all the time. But this time a small paper picked up on it. These kids are free now and the law was changed because of newspapers.
Who will track this stuff in the future? Maybe some Georgia state law school student journal, but I doubt such a journal would have the circulation and influence that newspapers have enjoyed.
Call me a luddite, but I'm sorry to see newspapers dieing. Even my print edition of the Washington Post has become very skinny. It's maybe 60% of its former content.
