Although I'm sure the "older" generation probably spends more time with newspapers than younger people, I'm not sure it's a generational thing as much as it is "where's the meat" to quote an old Wendy's commercial. Newspapers today are much thinner than they've ever been and provide less news and in a less timely format. Many of the stories in my local newspaper, "The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch," don't come from Dispatch reporters, but from reporters from other newspapers including my old employer, The Cincinnati Enquirer, along with The Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Toledo Blade, and on and on. Some of the stories also come from the local CBS affiliate which is owned by the same parent company as the Dispatch. When newspapers stop covering the news and leave it to what used to be their competition, it seems we may lose an independent voice and an independent reporter who is covering the news for their local audience. Although I worked for a wire service (Gannet News Service) for a few years, I'm not sure this shared responsibility of reporting the news is the same thing. |
