I’ve recently had delivery problems. My newspaper told me they can’t give me the name of my carrier because it is a privacy issue. My long term carrier always left a Christmas card with name and phone number. The new carrier now throws the paper on my driveway (if I even get it) instead of putting it in the newspaper tube.
I’m thinking these newspapers have become as worthless in informing us as the TV. They now want us to hit their website and give them advertising dollars while wasting hours surfing, instead of allowing us to simply read an informative newspaper while multi-tasking in the powder room.
Get a Kindle Fire and continue to read the paper in the 'powder room'. The tablet is probably less than a 3 month subscription to the paper. If your paper is behind a paywall, (they charge you to look at their ads) the economics won't work out quite as well.
