I hope newspapers find a way to survive. I don’t want to have to read everything on screens. I can only read screens for so long before my eyes start to hurt.

I like the feel of a newspaper in my hands.
The recent move toward “advertorial” news must be a disappointment to real reporters.

A few might survive in print but most will survive, if at all, in digital format.

They don't have real reporters working for them any longer any longer. Just news aggregators from some national news service.

I haven't touched a newspaper in over a dozen years. Filthy newsprint ink anyway.

I stopped reading my local paper in Arizona before I retired to Florida when I realized I was reading stories that I had read on the internet days before. What's "news" about that?

Since moving to Florida, I don't keep up with local news, just national news and politics.

I get most of that from FR and the Drudge Report links.

Electronic ink devices have been available since 2004.

It isn’t as if there were no viable choice.
