You would expect me to acquire almost 100% of my news online/digitally.
If so, you would have been right...6 months ago.
Recently, in effort to enrich my reading skills, I began picking up free papers in the lobby of my building. You know, the usual suspects: New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today. I thought, hey, why don't give this little thing called print a try.
25 days later, I am still at it and can't get enough.
Most younger people do not realize - there is something about getting your news from the page - the ink, smudging on your hand, rubbing against your fingers. The precise turning of the page along the perforated edges...ok, now I sound like an english major ;)
No, all funny business aside, I have gathered that the content in the paper is just better.
First of all, in comparison to a paper's online site, there is more content in print (for the most part).
Second, there is a sense of legitimacy/representation in the fact that an article is in print (as opposed to solely online). The historical context of print is there back to the days of the printer press.
Third- tt can be archived and shared with all.
Lastly....it doesn't need a battery ;)
