One of the things I miss about living in a co-op is getting a daily newspaper without feeling guilty about it. Subscribing to a daily paper is definitely reasonable for a household of 38 people. Or even twelve. Not only are there more consumers of that paper, but the paper, spread out on the dining-room table, also becomes a conversation starter, and the crossword puzzle a gathering point.
Bree and I tried getting the Los Angeles Times when we first moved to LA, about a year ago, taking advantage of a really cheap deal for new arrivals such as ourselves. I enjoyed the paper and I do like the LA Times, but they simply sent us more bulky newsprint than we could possibly digest.
Reading news on the internet is somehow much less satisfying.
