Nice. I'm not subscribing for the columnists, though even senior columnists have interesting things to say. C'mon, give them more credit.

And it's not like I'm going to subscribe to the Globe for Leah McLaren....

I'm a tactile reader as well. I think this has a lot to do with it.

This is more or less my point. I'm still going to read things by the Globe and the Financial Post, in addition to Bloomberg, BBC, etc. The newspaper is more or less going to be my news "launch point."
