== Future Changes ==
== Future Changes ==
After over 27 years from its launch and losing over $2 billion dollars, the Washington Times announced on December 2009 that they are laying-off at least 40% of its staff and will shift to mainly free distribution. Billed as a conservative alternative to the Washington Post, the paper's recent circulation was at about 85,000 compared to the Post's 583,000. The Times' main focus will now be on a national audience and local coverage will be deemphasized. <ref>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/02/AR2009120203295.html</ref>
