Not something you see online. Greenberg said:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI fervently believe people comprehend things better when they read them on paper than when they read them on their phone or on line. Your generation and all generations to come are missing out on one of life\u2019s greatest pleasures, and that is a cup of coffee and a newspaper. It is a pleasure you\u2019ll never know. It is one that I\u2019ll never cease to enjoy. To my dying day, if they continue to print newspapers, I will continue to read them that way and there is something about a cup of coffee and a newspaper, not reading it on-line; there is an experience reading a newspaper. It is a loss for the culture.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I am one of those, too. It&#8217;s not that I feel necessarily smarter or have greater comprehension skills than those who don&#8217;t read newspaper.<\/p>\n<p>It is to say that I will go to my own grave being dedicated to the work that journalists do to inform me of the community where I live and of the world we all call home.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, Mike Greenberg.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/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>A friend of mine sent me this snippet from a podcast given by acclaimed sportswriter Mike Greenberg.
