I much prefer reading printed media. Who wants to read google news while on the toilet? If there is a long paper on line - I prefer to print it out and read it. I would say 95% of my printer use goes to stuff just to be printed - read - then thrown away later.

Newspapers won't be able to control the news as they once did, but there are still plenty who prefer to read it.

However, I must admit I don't subscribe to one - and only read the paper while traveling.

I would subscribe to one if the internet wasn't here. I guess it depends on how much you want to read. Fact is NEW NEWS - like so and so has been shot is much better on the web - and too old for newspapers. More in depth investigations and such are better carried in the paper.

Most of the new news isn't done by papers themselves, but picked up from service such as AP. Did the papers really think they could get away with that forever?
