ASSociated Press Getting Booted by Tribune Company

Some good news, and hopefully a trend:
Tribune Company has given a two-year notice to the Associated Press that its daily newspapers plan to drop the news service, becoming the first major newspaper chain to do so since the recent controversy over new rates began

Even though it is for rate issues, I think the company also is looking at the quality vs. price issue, and the AP's quality has been waning for quite some time.
