Hi and welcome to the forums!

I disagree with this statement:

Only print provides a serendipity where you can deliver messages in an affordable way.

I think it's the opposite - print is the much more expensive way to go, and online is the cheapest.

With print, you first have to set it in some form of type, whether with a computer or not, then have to buy the print stock, then physically print it, each and every day. If the papers aren't sold, they are recycled, but not used right away. And there is the expense of delivering it to each and every news stand.

With online delivery, the cost is minimal - you still have to "set" it, but people come to you, there is no delivery charge, the only charges are hosting and bandwidth.

I have little or no use for "real" newspapers anymore.
