I finally did it......
I've been a newspaper reader since early Jr high. I'm in my 50s now. I've read the Daily Journal out of Tupelo for all but the 8 years I was off in school. I've been a continuous subscriber since about 1994. I let my subscription expire this month. That paper was basically nothing anymore. Their MSU guy does a decent job but I get everything he puts out elsewhere before he puts it out. Their coverage of UM/NCAA stuff has basically consisted of stuff the Ole Miss Spirit would have been happy to put out. The final straw was them giving over half their paper to USA Today. If I wanted what I consider to be one of the worst papers ever published I would subscribe to it. I'm kind of in morning and my morning routine has been disrupted, but enough was enough.

Newspapers in general aren't what they used to be. The only decent ones with "real" reporting are in the large cities now.

All subscriptions to news papers have been cancelled for at least 9 years. Now, get my morning coffee and news from my IPad. If I need local news, I can just look it up on the internet for free. Plus, I have more choices and opinions, and I am not "handcuffed" by the same reporters' narrative. I have always said that true power comes from owning and controlling what is put out in news print.
As for the USA Today, I don't get my free copy to their worthless liberal crap when I am on the road. It is only good for training puppies and lining bird cages.

I disagree. The crossword puzzles are great, especially to work during boring seminar speakers.
