The dying role of newspapers?

Proud Ole Newton visits New York

What!? “Dying Role”? Most my few closer friends are younger than I am. I’m called “senior citizen”. Besides even the under-threat television, my younger pals are addicted to the ubiquitous cell(ular) phone. The things those cell phone do and the things the youth can achieve though those now omnipresent devices!

Because those little things host Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and a dozen/score or more platforms or “apps”, daily newspaper sales are in danger here and worldwide. I mourn because I don’t want to lose my beloved daily physical newspapers and their essential pages. Could I live, exist without my daily’ papers? But wait! Even newspapers now appear on those little cell-phones or large computers. Poor me, do I detect any contention? Oh well, I’d better discuss briefly what newspapers do. Could their role really ever “die”?
