My mother is 90 years old. She gets the newspaper.

I don’t know anyone else who does.

My Dad is 91 years old. 3 months ago, he told the local newspaper he no longer wanted his subscription. Quite a step, since he's been getting the newspaper delivered at the same address for 60 years. They assumed it was financial difficulty and offered that the paper delivery person would give him free copies when available if he stayed with Sundays. He told them - NO, you're too damned leftist and anti-Trump.

The spouse is less than half that but insists on the Sunday copy of the local daily worker rag - The State.

“My mother is 90 years old. She gets the newspaper.I don’t know anyone else who does.”

which typifies the systemic problem facing print newspapers: their ancient clientele is dying off and no one under the age of 40 is subscribing. It’s pretty much the same thing that is happening to Sears.
