But does the newspaper format specifically add anything to this transaction? Magazines are slower but higher-quality in virtually every way (and I like that magazines are dedicated to a particular topic rather than subscribing to a wide set of topics some of which you might not care about), while the internet (particularly email newsletters) is faster and better-suited for disposable daily updates.
The internet also provides the opportunity for some remarkable interactive journalism (I know a guy who's done some of this for the WSJ) which is impossible to replicate on paper and can sometimes convey the story better than pure print can.
So does daily wood pulp still have a place in our media diet? I'm curious to hear arguments for what purpose it still fills.
