Newspaper woes spell trouble for Bee


The newspaper industry’s troubles have even stung the National Spelling Bee, where some schools seem to be struggling to come up with the money for a $99 entrance fee needed because newspaper sponsorships are down.

Gee, without the bee, how will we find those kids that can spell s-e-r-r-e-f-i-n-e and y-o-s-e-n-a-b-e.
