(UPDATED) Seattle P-I to stop printing within eight days; 10 dailies on industry death watch

Seattle Post-Intelligencer cartoonist David Horsey told The Washington Post that the P-I will print its final edition within the next eight days, according to an interview posted today on The Washington Post Web site. Despite earlier reports about the P-I's failed efforts to hire staff for its online only edition, Horsey told The Washington Post that the P-I has hired some workers for the online only edition.

(UPDATE: The last Seattle P-I print edition might come out Wednesday, according to this story.)

News of the P-I stopping the presses follows the Feb. 26 announcement of the Rocky Mountain News shutting down both its print and Web efforts.
