Newspapers are a relic of a bygone era. In the 20tth century, every town had a newspaper. It's where we got the news, weather, and sports. Classified ads and legal notices. My hometown paper, the Alexandria Daily Town Talk, exists as a pale shadow of its former self. The press is gone; I'm not sure if they print anything at all. At one point, it was being printed in Lafayette, but now I'm not sure at all.
Other newspapers hang on, grimly. The news earlier this week was that the Washington Post was eliminating positions and laying off staff. That seems to be the trend in the newspaper business these days. However, those journalists still have employment opportunities.
That's funny, right there.
