Quote from: "GrAnnie"Yep postal workers were when there weren't millions more houses and condos to deliver to.  I'm thankful though that I still get door to door delivery.  I'd hate having to wonder if my mail box would be smashed open for that credit card info.

My house is newer and never had door to door. People get their news online and their bills are automatically deducted.

Quote from: "GrAnnie"I listen to several different radio stations, read news online and sometimes in the papers. There's so many news outlets I'm not surprised at many of them consolidating.

Do you certain places you prefer to get local or international news from or do you get them from the same place?

I look up news sites like CBC News, CNN, Global News, World News.  But they all seem to have the same similar reports.

I don't often read news on line..



On the way to work I listen to local news, weather, traffic and sports..



At home I watch Global Calgary..



I do read Taiwanese newspapers online about once a week.

Longer than that. They don't sell newspapers anymore. There goes the circulation department for one.

I don't miss newspapers, but I will miss localized news stories if they were to disappear..



That won't happen soon though.

I don't like the Star Phoenix or the Leader Post. I read the National Post.

I did not read the details, but Nanaimo and Guelph will be losing their dailies. Or perhaps they already have.

Even the mighty Toronto Star is in trouble.
