Heard recently that several newspaper organizations will cease production of their paper version of the newspaper. And these are large newspaper organizations throwing in the towel which is the most shocking. However, this industry change is inevitable. With the focus on "green" business models coupled with the fact that by the time you get the newspaper unfolded to read, the news is what you've already read about online... the day before! I haven't subscribed to a newspaper in quite some time now. Got tired of seeing the local college football team get primary focus, no matter what news event happened in the country. If it doesn't affect or promote the local college football team, it just doesn't get put in our local newspaper. Quite sad to have a real world newspaper budget but they act like a student run newspaper. But I digress. Technology has a way of changing everything and newspapers are finally succumbing to the rush of technology, has happened with televisions, radio, automobiles, just about everything if you think about it.
Children whining. Finger nails across a blackboard. Morning radio shows. These are a few of my least favorites things. Morning radio is childishly formulaic to such an extent that it is overtly insulting. Not to mention they are rarely, if ever, entertaining or actually funny. Why every radio station feels they need to clog the morning ariwaves with this nonsense is beyond me. I'd rather listen to music instead of some radio "personality" pretending to be funny as their lackeys-for-hire sit in the studio background laughing hysterically at anything and everything said in the radio version of a pathetic laugh track. Thankfully I can retreat to the sane world of audio CDs or blessed silence on my morning commute to work. I hope you can too.
When I listen to talk radio it seems that those who call in must wait on hold for hours before getting an opportunity to speak. I am surprised people can remember why they called in the first place!
