The newspaper is a marvelous medium. It is extraordinarily convenient and cheap. Let's see. This one cost 75 cents. Now that's a little high. I bought it when I was downtown this morning.

Every day I tell myself that reading newspapers is a waste of time, but then... I cannot do without them. They are like a drug.

The printed newspaper is a powerful showcase for news, opinion and advertising.

From the beginning on, newspapers have prospered for one reason: giving readers the news that they want.

We're newspaper junkies; I can't imagine life without a newspaper.

Now if you look at the London 'Times,' you'll find that with quite a number of the photographs, you touch them, and they turn into videos. I think newspapers come alive that way. We talk about 'papers.' We should cut out the word 'paper,' you know? It's 'news organizations.'

I would rather exercise than read a newspaper.

I often feel newspapers are just filling up space. Of course, I also know people who write really long books.

A newspaper is lumber made malleable. It is ink made into words and pictures. It is conceived, born, grows up and dies of old age in a day.

There were always plenty of newspapers in the house. 'The Times', 'Guardian', 'Daily Telegraph' and 'Daily Mail' were all regular fixtures on the coffee table. I used to enjoy reading 'The Times' editorial pages and the 'Daily Mail' sports pages.
