I was in a Whitewater establishment on Saturday, one that has hundreds of customers a day. On a counter easily visible to patrons sat a two-day-old newspaper, still unrolled and fastened with a rubber band just as when it had been first delivered.
Perhaps someone only delivered Thursday’s paper on Saturday, or – alternatively – no one cared to open Thursday’s paper as it sat unread for two days’ time.
Neither possibility is comforting for print publishing, but I’d guess the worse one is true: the paper sat ignored for forty-eight hours.
There’s the state of print journalism (particularly for an afternoon daily).
Whatever the reason, this is where we are.
