Facebook area for ‘People who like to read the newspaper on paper’

By David Rothman

image “This site is for all those people who enjoy the ritual of reading a print newspaper—whether with your morning coffee, on the train, in a plane, on the beach or wherever.” – Facebook (via Pam Robinson, an old newspaper friend of mine).

The TeleRead take: So what’s next? A “Beliefs and causes” area for those who prefer paper books?

And will the memberships of those two Facebook areas overlap heavily with that of something else—envisioned by Andy Oram, another old friend? “An obituary notification service” for Boomers.

Look, my own feeling about media is, “However and wherever.” In this video-crazed era, readers of all stripes need to stick together.
