but the generation before us, who are, sadly and naturally, now
passing away.
I'm a Boomer and I haven't read a daily paper in seven years. Get
all my news online, too. I think most Boomers are the same.

I'm surprised most print media is still alive today, much less a
few years from now.
the only time I get a newspaper is when I'm at an airport going
somewhere. Other than that I get my written news online where I can
choose a variety of sources every day.
as the Baby Boomers die off, print will be gone

Yup, sadly, the end of print media is happening somewhat sooner,

to say I've been surprised the newsweeklies have even lasted this
long. A weekly newsmagazine? In the age of the Internet and the
24-hour news cycle?)
That said...
As a cartoonist and freelance writer I've made all or some of my
living in print for most of my adult life. That ended earlier
this
year when the alt weekly I cartooned for was shuttered by its
corporate masters. At a cartoonists convention a scant week after
that, one of Canada's best-known editorial cartoonists predicted
that the paper he works for won't even exist, in print form or
maybe in any form, in three years. Now it looks like he was being
optimistic!

On the heels of MCW ending comes the end of Newsweek, One by one
they will all go. Time is next, and then The New York Times (yes,
The New York Times).
