I\u2019ve learned how to adapt to the new way of presenting my own thoughts \u2013 as this blog demonstrates. I have a Facebook account and I tweet 140-character thoughts daily. I\u2019m getting this new social media thing. <\/p>\n<p>A big part of me, though, is glad to see that others out there apparently share my view that a newspaper belongs in one\u2019s hands, enabling us to turn pages and to skip past things we don\u2019t want to read and soak up those items that capture our attention.<\/p>\n<p>As the New York Times link attached here notes, New Orleans residents didn\u2019t much like reading their \u201cnewspaper\u201d online. Neither did advertisers. Thus, the company that owns the Picayune lost money. So, the company is going to restore its daily print edition. It won\u2019t return in quite the same form. But the paper is taking a step back toward a formula that enabled it to make a lot of money.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome back, Times-Picayune.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Old habits do have this way of hanging on.
