This is interesting, regarding newspaper readership. I stopped reading the daily paper in the mid-1990’s, when I started using the internet with a mainframe browser called Chameleon.

The only exposure I’ve had to newspapers since then is when someone leaves one in a bathroom stall. And I have not come across one of those in many years.

We used to subscribe to the Clarksville LeafCronicle which is our local newspaper and was just the right size. I hate those big news papers. But when the paper got in with Gannet the quality went south. They don’t even print it anymore here in Clarksville but is instead printed in Nashville and than send to Clarksville. So most of the news are a day old.

Same here. I stopped before the Clinton Impeachment and have never regretted it. My local paper was then a liberal rag and from what I hear it's only gotten worse.

We do get a daily delivery here at work...I collect them for a few days when I'm planning to buy crabs, that's about all The Virginian Pilot is good for.

The paper hanging on the roll works better...
