The News Journal, a weekly newspaper that began in 1993 and started an online version last year, now is keeping only the online version. There no longer is paper in this newspaper. Ginger Stanley, executive manager of the Virginia Press Association, said yes terday this may be unique. There's no other in Virginia. She hasn't heard of one elsewhere yet.
Newspapers often have online versions.
But many experts expect to see traditional papers for some time. After all, people can tire of looking at computer screens. They like being able to hold a paper in their hands, or take it to the beach - and throw it away. And, yes, they like being able to take it into the bathroom. A majority of them are probably our older readers who said they don't use computers and don't want to learn computers.
