Still My Paper

Most people say that all a newspaper is good for is to hit flies on walls. Newspaper are at the top of my favorite forms of medias. When I go on the Internet, chances are I will visit a newspaper site whether it is my city's local paper, Desert Dispatch. or one of the state's major paper, L.A. Times. It's good to keep up with current events so one can know what is going on. A book or magazine is not as regular or current as a newspaper. The Internet is more consistent but sometimes the source is not credible. I cheat by using the Internet to view the paper. How else am I suppose to read the L.A. Times when I'm in the Midwest? This site, L.A. Times, cuts out the soft news and mainly has the hard news. The hard news is really what is important. All I am missing are the funnies. Hold up, they are on the web also. This is the best comic ever and it is called Love is...

I find it strange that people are not reading the paper as much. I guess it makes since when TV brings it to you just as fast. The papers that I remember as a child are still alive. I really don't see the L.A. Times ever disappearing. I did find that my local newspaper is part of a chain of papers in the High Desert. This chain is only in the So Cal desert area though not the U.S.

Just last year, the newspapers in my region raised the price of their papers by $.25. Why do you think that would happen? Come to find out, people only by newspaper on special occasions. I remember when Michael Jackson died that was the only day that all the newspapers were sold out. Also on Sundays the papers were usually gone. People don't have to buy papers because they are online now. Why would I go out and but a Quincy Herald paper when I could stay home and see it on the web? I really predict that both books and newspapers will be gone in the future. I hate to say but I use to like to wake up on a Saturday morning after a football game to find my face in the picture or my name in the news. If anyone is interested you can see articles of me in the desertdispatch.com newspaper. Don't mind the wrestling one; I just got done with the longest match ever and for some reason the camera dude decide that that was the best time to take a picture.
