Newspapers are nothing more than a ink-on-paper format to distribute information. The internet also distributes information, except that it doesn’t require trees and mills to produce paper, printing presses, or hand-delivery of the finished product.

It’s not hard to see which is more efficient and how it will end.

Once devices like the Amazon Kindle go from $299.00 down to $29.95 - I’d give that 3 years tops - the hardcopy newspaper/magazine is D-E-A-D.

Vaguely recall that Scripps (???) was doing something with e-readers to replace print.
