For a number of reasons, newspaper subscriptions are down, while web hits to news sites is up.
While the internet has the advantage of not having deadlines, or being able to get out updates, it does have a few advantages over the web.
Reading a newspaper with a cup of coffee is far superior than reading a computer screen.
With a newspaper, you will read MORE than just the main headline news, getting much more total information, and especially local news and events.
Web based news, people run in, get the main story, and rush back to their rushed lives.
I know I canceled my newspaper two years ago, but that was because by the time I got home at night, made dinner and went over homework, there wasn’t a lot of time for reading the paper. People are busy. I also see that many of the papers no longer even try to be objective, but are now “right leaning” or “left leaning” publications. That is sad.
What do you think? Will you continue to get a newspaper, or are you happy to see it go? I bet the environ[b]mental[/b]ists will be happy to see the tree killers go.
