Quote of the Day: Welcome to Night Vale
From episode 16, "The Phone Call":
"In light of the ever-declining sales of newspapers and the rise of competition from digital media, the Night Vale Daily Journal announced that it has developed a new business model. Publishing editor Leanne Hart, speaking to television and internet reporters outside the burned-down shell of the Journal's former distribution plant, said their new mission, as a newspaper, is to kill news bloggers with hatchets. In this bold new initiative -- a game-changing strategy by one of the industry's stalwarts -- the Daily Journal plans to just 'go to bloggers homes and places of employment with hatchets then chop them up (the bloggers). Until they (the bloggers) are dead.' She added that the Journal still plans to use the AP style guide, and they are working to design a newer, more modern-looking masthead. Several Journal reporters and ad reps then began swinging blades at the non-print reporters in attendance. "
