newspaper readers are smarter, period (Score 1)

But that's not why. We use all forms of information. I don't expect my newspaper to be the cutting edge in late news. I want it to offer depth, opinion, local news and items of intersest I can't get anywhere. Are some boring, Yes. But is all web or TV good? When I'm traveling, or laying around on a Sunday-nothing beats holding a paper. And,I can't drag other media to the bathroom yet. It's not about us against them. I use all forms of media and I utilize each to it's best potential. Newspapers happpen to be a part of that.
