Katy Byron, a longtime journalist, on getting her first print newspaper subscription:

And when the actual newspaper came… my spirits were lifted instantly. The feeling of walking to the end of the driveway to pick up my print newspaper every morning has brought me more joy than I can put into words. It’s like every morning is Christmas morning — the grown-up edition. This was one daily task or chore I volunteered to pick up in my house — because this was my thing. This was my newspaper. It might sound corny and I am clearly biased on this subject, but this change in my life that I was able to control has been a sincere silver lining to this living nightmare we are all living through, and I am always looking for silver linings these days.

This was a really great read. Many of us can remember the days of picking up the newspaper and reading it front to back. I get Katy’s need to get away from the screen for a little while and a newspaper is just the thing.
