More than 8,500 Flickr pics sport a newspaper tag, but I only need a handful of them to show you why I'm so eager for publishers (all mainstream media really) to keep evolving.
“Web Two Point Ode to Newspapers”
Whether it’s a slow news day
or one we’ll never forget;
newspapers start it all.
Newspapers help feed us and
offer many practical uses.
We can count on newspapers to
make us laugh as we
ponder a six-letter word for habitual.
Some newspapers are free,
most are thought-provoking, but
none are perfect.
They are an inspirational, visual feast
that can show us the story creatively.
They are brought to us by
passionate people and
they provide a common thread across cultures.
Newspapers are a part of our history.
What will the future bring?

I don't carry any of your enthusiasm for the industry. I read an occasional one and find the stories always a day behind that which I find online.
Their own spiral into creating the news, bias and talking down to the rest of the media world, makes me anxious to be rid of them as soon as possible.

I really enjoyed this blog. I carry some nostalgia for print media, but like Gary, it's fading in the rearview of my click stream.
Great Blog!!
