The newspaper is a pastime. People read the paper because they don't have anything better to do, and because they wouldn't be able to participate in the discussions around the water cooler during the day. All the "news" that's in the papers is already online. You can read it from your desk, and there's no need to buy a newspaper. You can subscribe to an RSS feed and automatically get updates when people add posts or comments to whatever you were reading. You can be in New York and read about what's going on in Seattle. You won't be getting the Seattle newspapers on your way to work in New York. On top of that, people can listen to music or even watch Something To Be Desired on their way to work on their iPods or whatever. They can collect episodes of Sam Has 7 Friends in Democracy and watch them on their laptops during their train commute. They can take their laptops to Starbucks and read whatever they want via wireless. The newspaper is also a spin. Not only do they choose what to show you, as Mary said, but they choose how they report it. You don't just get "O.J. Simpson's writing a book"... you get their opinions about O.J Simpson and his book. On the internet, there are endless opinions on whatever topic you choose to search for. Legacy Media has no choice but to get with the program or get left behind. -- Bill C. http://wasteddays.reelsolid.tv
