We will need a daily celebration of life, just in case. 

 

The Atlanta Journal Constitution plans to be 100% digital by the end of the year. No more print, any day of the week. Think of all those young paper boys out of work! 

 

drag hearing it really. I walked my route until I could afford to go to pay off my first bicycle at western auto. put money down on it and paid it off, I want to say it took me close to a year. small town, wasn't like I walking the big city but big enough to know you put some miles behind you. along with the older generations that are now dying off, that too such as the old newspaper (among so many other things) dies off and fades in to the past. sad for those of us that lived that past and watching the future take over with AI, virtual assistants, hell you don't even (a chore I had to do along with others) have to vacuum the floor with the old Kirby anymore, just unleash that circular robot device and away it goes sucking up the dirt and it even find its way back to the charging station. 

 

25 years in to this 21st century, many seen this coming.

$1500 a year, delivered? Where do you live, Papua, New Guinea?

LOL West Seneca.  Last week I'm at my weekly old guys breakfast. I said it's like $900 and they thought thats crazy.  I'm then home and the renewal invoice is there.  $1,492 for 48 weeks.  Not even a year.  And thats expecting 7 issues a week, not 6

I get the AJC Sunday paper and this one really stings Augie—I’m weird like that I guess—I’m a Gen Xer but I love the experience of reading the actual newspaper and not endless popup scrolling on my phone. I figured the size of the metro market and healthy subscriber base relatively speaking would insulate the print version, but alas…

Sunday papers were great thing, big sports page, colored comics, a pile of ad's and lots of news and features. Why they haven't just kept Sunday as a print copy and made the rest of the week digital makes no sense.  The local paper The Elmira Star Gazette is worthless now, they mail it to you which shows how current it is and theres no Saturday edition you get the Sunday edition in the mail Saturday LOL 

 

It funny, but I’ll miss the crossword. Not the miserably difficult NYT or LA Times versions, but the one that comes in slightly smaller papers. The crossword puzzles geared toward people who don’t do crossword puzzles for a living.

Local papers here in WV have a Saturday "Weekend" edition and no Monday editions.

Reading the paper on a phone just is not the same as reading a print edition.

 

Way back in the day, our Boy Scout troop  in Lewiston would have a paper drive as a fund raiser. 

We would fill a tractor trailer truck and  earn about $100 to pay for our camping trips.

This should go in the nostalgia thread
