Does anyone have any comments on the actual
newspaper, the one that you unfold while you drink
your coffee? That's what I've been reading for fifty
years (I learned how to read from the funnies and
comic books) and I intend to keep on reading it in
that manner until my feet are free from this earthly
domain. I just like the tactile response, the feel of
the fresh news in my hands.
Marshall Macluhan (sp?) once said "reading a newspaper
is like sinking into a warm bath" and I think he was
right. You can't envelope yourself in a screen.
I understand the economic concerns involved (My
God, we're only making 23% profit!!!), and I know
there have been more severe strictures at other large
papers but I still wish there were local owners
involved in this.
All that said, I wasn't really as disturbed by
todays delivery as I had feared. Of course with
headlines like a Hastings Matri/Patricide and the
Vikings SluzeCruise how could anything go wrong?
I think I'll reserve my judgement for now. Until
the next front page "Prom Dress Distress" essay comes
along.
