I just read your article explaining how The Tribune will switch from daily printed deliveries to a redesigned online platform and only one printed delivery a week. I am a 15-year-old, part of a digital generation who many people believe to prefer electronics to paper. Yet I am deeply saddened by this decision.
I understand that newspapers everywhere are struggling financially. It is the unfortunate truth that people are trending towards online platforms more and more. However, we have not forgotten the joys of holding an actual piece of paper and reading the latest news.
As a proud member of Gen-Z, I want to say that I really hope there is something we can do to help preserve seven-day-a-week printed papers. I will miss the morning banter that comes with my family sharing the latest edition of the newspaper at the breakfast table.
Not only that, but all of the people who have jobs related to printing, such as press workers, etc. will lose their jobs. We cannot forget about them.
All this is to say, if there is any way to have printed papers seven days a week, let’s not hesitate to do it.
