Read all about it!
(I wish you would)
Going to the Newsagent instead of
Saving a wood
For as the news changes
and updated each hour
my papers sit dripping
in a cold and wet shower
For you’re getting your news
from the Telly and Web
Leaving my paper at a
really low ebb
And its not as if I can turn
and give them away
as you read the old news
its another news day

We do read the news. No longer in a newspaper because (a) we can’t afford it and (b) it’s very difficult to get them delivered to our actual house and not left in the mud, rain, and snowdrifts by the road. I read online. I get “The Washington Post,” “The New Yorker (hard copy and digital), National Geographics and Garry used to buy USA Today every day for the sports scores. He doesn’t anymore because he gets them online instead. If the Globe and the Times would lower their prices from their absurd $28/month for JUST a digital edition, I’d get them too, though I don’t know how I’d find the time to read anything more than I already do. I think maybe I’m maxed out.

When the barons buy out the “Advertiser” news brands and give away cut down versions on the streets for free, there’s no wonder people look elsewhere for their news.
