The only newspaper I have delivered is the Sunday edition of the Pittsburgh Tribune Review and mainly for the comics and coupons. If I wanted to, I could read the comics online and I figure eventually, coupons will all be online too.
Newspaper delivery was cool back in the day. Young boys like my brother used to make spending money delivering the paper. It was a good learning experience for children. Now our papers are delivered by “drive-by” adults who throw the paper from a moving vehicle and who knows where it might land? It’s more of a nuisance to have the paper delivered than it is to pick up a copy at the local store.

Some truth to that. My neighbor 2 years ago tried the subscription for the local paper (not worth mentioning as I hate it). What went on was the paper guy (non-English speaking Mexican) was warned so many times to leave the paper at the doorstep instead of outside the gate..and the paper dude kept doing it. He eventually unsubscribed after 3 weeks.
