But you're right, people don't read the paper anymore, because they want quick soundbites off network news, or they read the news on the internet. Not so for me because the morning begins with my newspaper no matter what, and I savor every word of it. Over the last few months, though, the News customer service has become shoddy; sometimes I get my paper, sometimes I don't. I don't want to be one of those soundbite people, but the News is trying to drive me to it. Lets hope we won't be mourning the passing of the Birmingham News in a couple of years.
