Colbert on Newspapers

“Newspapers are an important part of our lives, not to read, of course, but, when you’re moving you can’t wrap your dishes in a blog.”

– Stephen Colbert

I have done some pretty serious thinking about this whole issue, and although I get most of my news on the computer, I still feel very strongly that newspapers on paper are something I I hope will not totally go away. I still like to sit in my living room and read through the paper. That way I run across stories that I would never read if I were scrolling on my computer screen. Having the NYT, Frankfurter Algemeine, other some other serious paper around to read is still important to me personally.

Also, you can’t crumple up a blog to stuff into your soggy shoes after you come in from the rain and you can’t set a blog on fire to help you get a campfire going.
