I’ve seen so many statistics on the demise of the printed (as opposed to electronic) word, that I sometimes think that newspapers and magazines are quickly becoming a Thing Of The Past. Not, however, if my family has anything to say about it!
Having moved recently, I’ve had to perform an inventory of our magazine subscriptions — not what we read online, but what actually comes to us as dead trees through the USPS. And I found (somewhat to my surprise) that it’s a hefty list:
- Smithsonian
- Wired
- Ms
- Sojourners
- Car and Driver
- Equus
- Poets and Writers
- Seed
- Technology Review
- Glimmer Train
Don’t get me wrong: I do read a lot of material online, and I do want to save as many trees as possible. But I am one of those who still loves the physicality of reading: touching the pages, turning the pages, underlining a passage, putting an asterisk next to a concept or news item to which I want to return.
What about you? What’s your subscription list look like? Do you read more online or off?
Inquiring minds want to know!
