I live in a medium sized city in Louisiana. We subscribe (online) to one local daily paper, one regional daily paper (with local editions), one online only weekly paper that focuses on investigative journalism (and doesn’t have a paywall), the WaPo and NYT, but I do have a paper & digital subscription to the Atlantic Monthly. I give my paper copy to a neighbor. Though I prefer to read hard copy to a screen the advantages of digital subscriptions are too great. (1)They are easily available anywhere you have an internet connection, and if you’re going to be somewhere where you won’t, you can download your reading material ahead of time. (2) digital is much better for the environment. They don’t require the removal of carbon sequestering trees, don’t create water pollution during the manufacturing process, and less energy to produce and deliver. Less energy = fewer carbon emissions. Finally, unless you mulch them or have a decent paper recycling program in your locality, they end up going into a landfill, taking up lots of space. Support local journalism and the environment. Get digital subscriptions if available.
Bruce4671- I was just pointing out that the caricature showed him as a right hander. But you are free to draw your own conclusions as to the implications. ;-)
