Do people still read the (printed) newspaper? I find myself reading the news online these days... I can't actually say that I've picked up a newspaper in years.
Do you think the printed newspaper will eventually become obsolete? |

It was so easy living day by day, Out of touch with the rhythm and blues... But now I need a little give and take, The New York Times, The Daily News...

i read the new york times just about everyday. i don't like reading things online near as much as i do printed. it's easier to read if you have it in your hands, or something.

I did last semester. I was under the impression that I was still getting the AJC after winter break, and didn't bother to renew it.
If I try to read online news, all I really bother with is headlines. I miss the paper. Actually, I do still read the school paper every day, it just sucks. |

"Paperless Newspaper" will become the thing of tomorrow. Basically you'll have a thin plastic "page" that will get updates every chance it gets on the current news.

Yeah, I read amNewYork most days since it's a free little paper that's handed out by the subway station. I also scan Google News a few times a week.

ohh, we talk about this all the time in my journalism class. i used to read the paper all the time when i was in high school, but now that i'm a poor college student, i don't want my parents having to pay a little extra for newspaper delivery. so whenever i go home, i read the paper.
otherwise, i just look at national/international news on cnn/bbc. |
