Probably cost a few bucks in those daysThey could produce e-editions customized for particular audiences, heavy on news in user-selected categories. That could work very well. I would also like to see a short edition that would format correctly for laser printout on 8.5x14 paper. I already spend too much time looking at computer monitors, I want to hold my newspaper in my hands. For the moment I can still do that, but in the future? A 20 page user-printable edition with news and other features from the categories I selected would be about right, maybe 30 pages on the weekends.
Or is that the Wash Examiner?
The Washington Examiner has certainly signed on a lot of great columnists. Unfortunately I can't buy it here, but I can usually buy the Washington Times. Both papers have e-editions.
They already have a machine that prints on plain paper and staples them together that puts out 20 page papers for around a buck at some colleges and stuff... or just being tested... let me see if I can google it... there was also a machine that prints books on demand
