Local Insight

The national and international press reports on most of the big news stories from the major channels players in the high technology market, especially if they are quoted firms. But the local press - that is, local to the head office of these same channel players - often has a unique insight into the 'story behind the story'.

Circuit City is almost sixty years old, and its head office is still to be found in its home town - Richmond, Virginia. As such, the Richmond Times-Dispatch is able to cover the latest upheavals at Circuit City with a very local perspective that stretches back through time. So, for a dispiriting and downbeat analysis of Circuit City's plight, see this article.
