How I have used the print edition, historically speaking, is both a somewhat nostalgic look back at ink-on-paper and a few observations on how that relates (and doesn’t) to online. While Ryan’s post is a great thing in itself, it has also kicked off some interesting conversation and musings elsewhere. (See John Duncan and Mindy McAdams.) [...] [...] First up is Ryan Sholin.

This was part of what I was mulling over. Where am I going to make time in my morning -- or anywhere in my day, for that matter -- to hold something printed in my hands and read it for at least 20 minutes? I had to give up all my magazine subscriptions (although right now I am considering whether I can now fit in time to read print versions of The Economist and National Geographic Traveler), because pretty much the only print reading time I have is at bedtime -- and that's reserved for fiction and other pleasure reading. @John Duncan: I would not necessarily pick up a printed newspaper even if they changed the content now.

What strikes me is how short your list is. Actually so is mine. It made me wonder whether newspapers should think about getting much much smaller and spending the money they save on doing less but focusing more on the sorts of things people are actually using them for. A flick through the news and pre-work access to the smartest and funniest columnists. Just a thought. http://blog.inksniffer.com/2008/03/21/maybe-less-is-more-in-the-future-of-newspapers.aspx John Hey Mindy: You got me thinking. What strikes me is how short your list is.
