Newspapers are... hopefully NOT completely dying! 1) My boyfriend's mom works for the Caller Times and 2) Isn't there just something nice about holding an actual paper?
ReplyDeleteI know that online newspapers are nice and convenient, but I still like the actual, tangible newspaper. I mean, if something historical happens, I want that paper. I want that paper with the date and the big front page story to show my future kids. Not to mention, even if I’m not looking for anything and may never buy anything from the paper, I still love searching the classifieds. So, hopefully they won’t disappear completely!
What do you think Mehmet? I know you have your online magazine, how would it fair in print, in today's economy?
Haha, I love Google search results. They're usually amusing. As for newspapers themselves, I don't know if I'd say they're dead but they're not what they used to be. How much longer they can hang in there remains to be seen.
