Dad reading the newspaper. To me today it seems normal AND odd.
The daily San Jose Mercury News I delivered as a kid use to be an inch thick on some days and cost .25 to .50 cents. Now it’s 2 or 3 dollars and pamphlet-thin. Barely anything in it now. In the modern days of free internet-provided news, comics and free classified ads, how does it even survive? Who is still reading them? I prefer reading books and real newspapers versus digital screens myself, but today’s newspaper doesn’t have enough content to make it worth the cost to me anymore. Cancelled my last subscription in 2015, but by then I was subscribing to the Sunday paper only anyway.
