Not that I don't use the Net for news. But, my trusted sources , I want and demand a contemplative moment with a paper copy where you have an exchange of views. I am not satisfied the internet takes on that function.. The internet is more like TV where the news screams out at you at too fast a place and the more in depth analysis gets overlooked for the quick headline..
Newsweek says, they will reach out to a 'broader base." that base won't include me..
A main news source in this household is the Nation.. They are on alert, if they go to an all internet forum, we won't subscribe. Yes, I will pay more for my print copy, but I will not subscribe to their electronic forum.
