Well – many of the papers that have given notice have begun to outline some 'replacement' options:

1) Regional sharing cooperatives
2) Alternative syndicates (probably several to fill the void)
3) Reducing wire content and tightening the newshole

I would guess all of the above will happen. On the other hand, if AP does drastically revamp their fee schedule who knows. I don't think anyone wants to have to make this work without AP so there is a lot of incentive for papers to work it out if they can.

Any ideas what papers/online will use to fill the void? And maybe for local outlets that not really an issue aside from learning to walk without the AP crutch. My experience recently is that AP locally is more of a competitor than ever, rewriting stories from local news websites and moving them on their wire sometimes within an hour of a post. Hi Damon,
