The Independent is ceasing to print it's papers anymore following on from NME a while back. What are people's thoughts on this?

I used to quite like getting NME occasionally to read album reviews. Since it has been online only I haven't bothered with it once.

Needing a tablet or laptop would make the work dump more challenging.

...I suppose it's a sign of the times, folk going to work can get the news on their mobiles or when they get in the office. Demand for print must have decreased significantly which is sad for those that have worked in the industry for so long.

Can't remember the last time I bought a newspaper, in an age of 24 hours news channels, laptops tablets and mobiles making all forms of news media available it's not really surprising

I think it is sad that in the future there will be no more printed media and things like CDs, records, DVDs etc too. People will literally do everything online. I suppose that's just progress!

newspapers are dead sadly

You ever buy a tabloid filled with crap like celebrities your you have already heard the news the day before.

If you want a good paper, buy the I, small enough but still gives you loads of little news stories from the day before. And it is 20P! well it was last time i bought it

.....never seen a horse on a train.

You know I rewrote that sentence as I just put "on a train" and worried it sounded like I was on top of the train. Can't win.

And if the toilets are out of bog roll it's difficult to wipe your arse with a tablet or laptop as well.
