Brett pointed out this Wired piece on newspapers (basically reporting that our 18-34 demographic isn't really interested in reading print newspapers for various readings, including not having old papers pile up, and get our news in other ways).
For anyone who has seen my apartment*, you know that I have long wrestled with the dilemma of getting the paper or not (because I hate wasting all that paper and I hate dragging things all the way down to the recycling and I have a serious pat-rack problem and generally hate to throw anything away...) But since I'm about to start a daily morning internship thing and won't have time in the morning to get through the Times anyway, I actually had just decided to go back to just getting the Sunday instead of the daily edition. I know I mostly get the Times because I like being a "New York Times [gal]" -- especially out here in CA (despite periodic episodes of guilt that I'm not following the local Bay Area news as much as I could be) and because, of course, my parents religiously read the Times (no matter which coast they're living on).
Hmmm... so anyway, I thought it was an interesting article...
*now, thanks to Shachar, minus an entire cart-load (literally) of piles of newspapers but you can barely tell the difference there is still so much other stuff piled up right now...
