I get Newsday on my driveway. It is more complete than the on-line edition that I scan the night before. Somehow, it is much easier to view the obits, the advice columns, and the letters on paper than on the screen. Newsday reports daily on significant events in two counties totaling 2,834,000 residents. I like to keep up with what is going on. I also subscribe to a newsy weekly Herald. In some communities, the weeklies used to print only the press releases of the governing local party, but the Herald organization does a better job.

Of course I miss the Bronx Home News and the Brooklyn Eagle. Bxtimes.com and the three Brooklyn e-newspapers cannot hold a candle to the thorough reporting that those two boroughs once had. By the way, the Brooklyn Public Library allows outsiders to view the Eagle archives, with much reporting of what happened in Nassau and Suffolk. By showing archival pages in pdf you get all the side stories instead of just the main topics.
Just received this from a Long Island friend. It seems particularly appropriate in this thread. They must have broken their arms from patting themselves on the back. Stay with it, it is kind of interesting to see the sights, but audio is pretty funny especially as they get toward the end.
Yup, and the paper edition doesn't follow you around and record what pages you stop on, like Facebook
