General Discussion

Reading a newspaper on some device is just not the same at all. The act of holding a newspaper and taking the time to read stories that are sometimes much longer than anyone could tolerate reading on a small screen or even a lager one is important.

I started reading a daily paper when I was only 8 years old. I'm 80 years old now, and I'm still looking forward to my session with the paper each day. I spend a lot of time, now, as a retired old coot reading websites, but it's not at all the same, nor as rewarding.

The newspaper taught me to read long-form stories and to think about and interpret what I read. For me, it is the best and most revealing source of the news that is happening each day. No other medium is as effective.

Anyhow, it looks like people are no longer interested in that. A pity.
