With the fate of the Post-Intelligencer seemingly sealed at least as a newspaper, and the Seattle Times teetering on the financial edge, the Seattle City Council will wade into the crisis Wednesday at 2 pm. Nick Licata’s “Culture, Civil Rights, Health and Personnel” Committee plans to spend two hours with a panel of news professionals, exploring possible ways to save Seattle’s disappearing newspapers. (Disclosure here: Crosscut’s publisher, David Brewster, will be one of the panel members.)
