Youse guys crack me up. Yeah... I'm old skool like that. I get the paper as much for principle as I do for news. I'm voting with my wallet for the kind of media environment I want to live in, that I want my children to live in. We used to have two papers here in town, and the one I take is just dying more slowly. I don't believe we'd have a better place to live if there were no newspapers, especially local newspapers.
Plus, the paper gives me something to count on in the morning. I mean, in my area, I can't really count on the sun coming up every day. I just got lucky on this day. Rumor, yes. Empirical evidence, no. But the paper shows up each morning.
