I get one but I never read it, it just goes in the garbage.
I think I tried to cancel and they offered it for a $1 a year or something crazy like that, I forget. I guess they just want to keep their circulation up to keep the ad prices stable. I do sometimes read the sports pages during baseball season.
As for the comment about newspapers being archaic, I agree but the reporting of the newspapers is not. All the deep news stories you hear about on websites, or we talk about on this board, were researched by a newspaper news desk. ONLY newspapers have the time to research a 6 month story and come out with a full report. TV and internet news companies have virtually zero reporting capabilities other than anchors and so-called "experts".
Newspapers play a very important role in our democracy and I think some people don't realize that. Channels like CNN and MSNBC and FOX just recycle AP news. They don't investigate anything like newspaper staffs do.
