I know a lot of people moan about newspapers dying, but they should be more concerned about the health of journalism. See, journalism should exist with or without newspapers. Only the distribution model changes. But I get it -- people are nostalgic. Maybe your Sunday afternoons were spent swapping sections, flipping through the advertisements for big sales, clipping coupons, and getting ink all over your fingers. Maybe you had stacks of newspaper all over your garage. But face it: people get their news from the Internet now. Period. The only people who read newspapers are old people and poor people. By the time those old people die, technology will probably be cheap enough to get those poor people on the Internet. And then the death rattle.
