All print papers are under pressure from a new generation never using them. With the rise of the internet in the 1990s back then it was foreseen that this day would arrive eventually. It didn’t happen overnight but watch for more of this to happen to other papers.

We have lost our only hometown newspaper, now only available on-line by subscription, and it’s always a day late with the news.

People want news immediately and live if possible. Dead Tree Media was doomed from the day of the invention of the desktop computer.........

“All print papers are under pressure from a new generation never using them.”

Plus, the new generation can’t read.
