Newspapers are dead?

October 5, 2008

Anyone who thinks newspapers are dead wasn't at the Laurel Street Bakery with me this morning.

There was almost a mutiny because, apparently, something happened with the printer/distributor of the New York Times in Houston, and so there are no NYTs in the city.

At least 10 different people came in to buy the Times at the coffee shop, and every time, the employees had to explain that there were none available.

This one guy was completely disgusted, "No New York Times in New Orleans?"

I told him he could simply read it online, which is what I do every day. He looked at me like I had just told him to eat his boogers.

Apparently, people down here -- or at least on the block where the bakery is -- can't get enough of the Sunday Times.
