Print Insists It’s Here to Stay

This is absurd. Print newspapers as we know them will be dead within my lifetime. Why should I pick up a stack of dead trees and read the news a day after it actually happens, when I can get up-to-the-minute information from that same news source electronically?

Magazines, on the other hand, feature magazines, like the New Yorker or Wired, I don’t think will die. Why? Because they don’t rely on immediate breaking news for their bread and butter. I read the NYT for daily news (and I read it online) and I read Wired to be informed and to think. A month old issue of Wired has a much better shelf life than a month old issue of the NYT.
