I know some might not think it a huge deal, what with online readership these days. Heck, even I don’t subscribe to a newspaper anymore. But this article about the Rocky Mountain News closing its doors still poked at me.

Not sure why. Maybe it’s because this was my hometown paper or some such. Anyone else felt a bit sad at seeing their news shut down? Seems like a herald to the day when we might hear about book publishers shutting their doors because of e-readers. Though I know others who would celebrate those times.
I see that smile.
Not having television, I get most of my news from the Albuquerque Journal and our local, weekly Mountain Mail. I do look at news online at times, but mostly it’s all celebrity gossip and junk. I’m not especially loyal to ABQJ, but I would miss it. I like my news in print so I can read it at the table and take my own sweet time. I sort of feel sorry for people who are in too much of a hurry to do likewise.
