When I go home to visit my mother in Florida she still gets the paper and I
will bring it in for her, and she will without fail offer to hand me sections
of it ("want to read the Sports while I do xyz?")
Each time I politely decline telling her that there isn't a scrap of news in
the paper that I probably didn't know about yesterday while reading it online.

I'm surprised most print media is still alive today, much less a fewyears from
now.
the only time I get a newspaper is when I'm at an airport goingsomewhere. Other
than that I get my written news online where I canchoose a variety of sources
every day.
as the Baby Boomers die off, print will be gone

Yup, sadly, the endof print media is happening somewhat sooner, though only by

the Internet and the 24-hour news cycle?)
That said...
As a cartoonist and freelance writer I've made all or someof my living in print
for most of my adult life. That ended earlier thisyear when the alt weekly I
cartooned for was shuttered by its corporatemasters. At a cartoonists
convention a scant week after that, one ofCanada's best-known editorial
cartoonists predicted that the paper heworks for won't even exist, in print
form or maybe in any form, in threeyears. Now it looks like he was being
optimistic!
