It was announced today that Hearst Corporation's other troubled publication, Seattle P-I, will roll out its final print publication tomorrow. Publisher Roger Oglesby just made the announcement on behalf of Hearst. The online version, seattlepi.com, will remain up and running.

This comes after the announcement that SF Chronicle voted on Saturday by a 10-1 margin in favor of a Hearst Corp. proposal, one that might avoid sale or closure of the equally troubled newspaper.

Will SF Chronicle inevitably follow in Seattle P-I's footsteps? Without a gram of glee, melancholy, or schadenfreude, we would have to say, well, yes. Yes, it will.
