In what year will the last newspaper be printed?
I'm a news junkie who used to suscribe to The Tennessean. I probably buy it now 5-6 times a year. Between the internet and the credibility problems of WaPo and NYT the death of newsprint can't be far away.

1. Who cares? I have gotten all of my news from the net for years.

3. As far as I'm concerned, the last newspaper already has been printed
My newspaper is The Oregonian. It can't suck enough. It was a great newspaper. Now it' a mouthpiece for Senator Gordon Smith.

Aside from the obvious problems of making people pay for a wad of ads, there's no news in it anymore. No serious investigation of anything, just a reprint of the AP Newswire two days late.

4. Quit reading off of dead trees.
Read your news on the Internet like any other intelligent being.
