I spent the best part of a decade as a journalist, editor and copywriter and I never found a more effective way to edit and proof copy than paper + pen.
And whenever I had freelancers in who insisted that on-screen only was better/faster than on paper for them, I'd let them do it how they wanted, but they invariably spotted fewer mistakes, so not much faster in the long run. Anecdotal, sure, but paper works better in my view.
Edit: I'm 37
