(48) I love newspapers. The death of the newspaper medium is tragic to me. Mostly because I think I'm one of the few who actually still reads it every morning. My sense is that a good chunk of people would be just as happy to wake up and have their cereal/coffee with the internet. That's just disgusting. My relationship with newspapers isn't just one of habit and routine, but it something that involves all the senses. I love waking up to the smell of a newspaper, the feeling of the newsprint under my fingers.
But as I said, I think I'm one of the few who will morn it if it goes...
Aside: I don't ascribe to the foolish who think "news" is dying, however. We just need to figure out a new way to pay for it. And people will--it's a basic human need.
