I have a different perspective on newspapers. I'm a reporter/staff writer for a weekly newspaper. We cover the local town and county. Many think the so-called "community newspapers" have a better chance of surviving because they deliver news that people can't really find elsewhere. Our local daily covers a city and the four surrounding counties, and they don't provide nearly the news that they used to. Ditto with the local TV station, which covers an even larger area. I have had plenty of people tell me that they learn more about what's going on with county and town government from our weekly than the daily. That said, our parent company is really pushing the website. We have an e-edition available plus most of the content is put on the web for consumption. I still love the print newspaper, but I admit I get a lot of my news from the web. I hate to see the local dailies having problems, because there are many people--older, those who live in rural areas with little or no access to broadband--who depend on paper.

I'm a movie junkie, it's a guilty pleasure of mine ( I have a few.. ). Although, as when I open a book, if I am not captured in the first few minutes or frames I will abandon the film. As for your questions and even though I have not scene the movie I think the jury is still out. I am a hybrid. I like having the option and still read both. I don't think the industries are reacting fast enough and hanging on to their old ways... I have not scene the movie but it sounds worth a view.

I don't think anybody wants print media to go away, but it's a challenge figuring out how to make it work financially when so many people are switching to digital media. I hope the movie heads your way soon! Thanks, Arindam.

Perhaps you can add it to one of your 50 movies this year. I'd love to know what you think. I thought of you Monica, with your 50/50 challenge.

This post was not about the review of the movie, but for me it was more than that. It made me think, what's the future of print media, when the electronic media is growing so much & so fast? It also made me think that, if our next generation can ever enjoy that morning tea, with a piece of paper in their hands having the whole world in it? Personally, I would not like the electronic media to replace the print media. Both may do the same job for us, but the charm in both of them are different. To be honest, I preferred reading something in book rather than in PDF format. May be I am sounding old fashioned, but that's what I prefer. :) I can't wait to watch this movie. Let's hope it will be available to us very soon. Thank you Becky for sharing such a wonderful thought, in form of a movie review. Becky, It’s a treat to read a movie review in your blog.

It's going well. Only 2 1/2 more weeks until the big event! Now I just have to re-charge my fundraising, which is always harder than training.

That's a rare bird at her age. I'm sure you set a great example with your writing. I think we're all guilty of contributing to the demise of print papers. Who doesn't like the ease of reading headlines and skimming the web? BUT, as the film suggests, if we don't support the journalists who actually get out there and dig up fresh, original stories instead of just regurgitating content, the media will be in a very ugly place. I ran across a funny quote the other day, "If we subscribe to The NYT, does that make us philanthropists?" Food for thought. I love that your daughter is interested in becoming a journalist!
