i was walking down a desolate financial street this evening - not past 10pm - when i saw neat stacks of tomorrow's newspapers in front of a newsagent which would not open for another eight hours
it made me think - who reads a physical paper anymore?
to have been written to be edited to be typeset to be printed to be distributed by ten at night, how fresh can tomorrow's news possibly be? or is it worth it to see those delicious critical reviews and political essays in the flesh?
have you abandoned it completely for the digital age of instant, rss fed updates? as-it-happens news, full of typos and bad html code and dodgy copy-paste journalism?
or do you go for the middle ground and grab the free commuter rag on the way home, with it's reuters and associated press and imdb.com sources, sacrificing unique journalism for the most googled articles of the day yet still having the raw nerve to put in a cryptic crossword? like it means something? you horrible, horrible, person?
i only watch the international channel's bolivian news hour at 4am

oh man the hone harawira letters to the editor were hilarious
ABLOO BLOO US OPPRESSED MIDDLE CLASS WHITE MALES
oh and some shit for brains actually got a bit about climate change published that cited a study from the journal of economic policy or something like that as his proof that it was right, and kept implying that 'the smarter among us have always known that global warming isn't real'

I would die without the news, pretty much. It terrifies me that it's going under.

yes see nz newspapers are awful and so their opinion pages are something to behold
personally i think hone harawira is a national hero and white people need to shut the fuck up about it

most papers are a pain in the butt to read on the train. i like the new compact papers some are doing because you don't disturb the people next to you by constantly expanding your arms like an idiot and rustling with the paper
still prefer just reading a news feed on the iphone though. during breakfast and on the toilet as well.
The other local newspaper covers the same things, has better writers, and puts the full things online.
ha ha england
I want him to get some kind of medal

There's an internet right there. AOL's TV guide is remarkably decent. It's a thing AOL has done right in the last decade.
Making them use semicolons correctly.

How is the news going under?
Wait, isn't wog a rather racist term?
I do find the monthly DWI insert interesting due to the number of people I recognize coming into work to buy beer
I do find it annoying when I read about something online days to weeks before it's in the paper
It was Raw news
No time for editing on news this edgey
Most terrifying recent item: Washington Post cut its national staff (Chicago, LA, etc.)
Various things to panic over: too much opinion, not enough reportage; the political-entertainment complex; what happens to corruption if nobody covers the town hall beat; what happens to my glamorous journalist friends if they can't spend their days shouting "Sweetie, get me rewrite"; what happens to democracy when the people are uninformed.
End times, baby. End times.
