Talking digital comments and physical newsstands this week

Bill Radke reviews the week's news with Allison Williams of Seattle Met, Kevin Schofield of SCC Insight, and The Stranger's Charles Mudede

This week Boeing announced that they are temporarily stopping production on the 737 Max, halting assembly lines at their Renton plant. Is this a sign of continued trouble for the company in 2020?

And Mayor Durkan asks us to slow down for the holidays... and every day afterwards. She's announced that the speed limit on arterial roads will be lowered to 25 miles an hour. Will it actually help prevent accidents?

Also, City Councilmember Kshama Sawant has proposed a bill that would stop landlords from evicting tenants in the winter months. Will the new City Council support it?

Plus, the acting director of King County's homelessness agency resigned after a conference she organized gained national attention for inviting a burlesque dancer to perform. Should we be offended by the performance or by the response to it?

Finally, Crosscut announced this week that they'll be turning off comments on their articles starting next year. Is it the right decision?

And speaking of digital news, First and Pike News, purveyors of physical papers and magazines, is shutting its doors. The business has been around for 40 years, but says in the last few years most of their sales have come from people purchasing gum for the gum wall. Is this just a sign of changing times? Does Pike Place Market need to alter its business strategy to serve a 21st Century crowd?
