I morn for the loss of newspapers as the main source of journalism. Fewer and fewer people actually read any more. Circulation is way down. Papers are going out of business left and right. They can no longer afford to employ investigative journalist. TV news just isn't the same. It's mostly just sensationalism. Where are Bernstein and Woodward when we need them most?
Aside from the SUN, most of the paid newspapers have long since given up on these boxes. I've had occasion in the past where I put in the money and the bloody thing wouldn't open up, so I've avoided using them.
Ah those newspaper boxes. So unknown here but makes for a good colorful composition along the street.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot to read.
ReplyDeleteI remember boxes like those when I visited San Francisco last month.The guy looks like he's choosing what to get :)

The photo is colourful but I think that those boxes are just plain eyesores.
ReplyDeleteNo shortage of news here.
ReplyDeleteNice and colorful.

ReplyDeleteI've often wondered who reads those papers.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of papers, Andy!
ReplyDeleteHmm, that's too many choices for me!
ReplyDeleteFree....but, are they worth reading?!
ReplyDeleteHow to choose?!
ReplyDeleteThese boxes drive me nuts. People pick up the free papers, skim for ten seconds and then drop them on the ground. They are just a source of litter.
