Note the kid in the foreground, at the near end of the table on the right. He sure has a big smile on his face!!!

Unfortunately, like blacksmiths and canneries, many newspapers are closing up shop. I remember when I was a little kid, back in the 50's, walking with my dad, by the blacksmith's shop in a tiny town where my great grandparents lived. They were "really old" like around 50!!!!! I have an anvil from my great grandpa's little barn in my shop.

As of 2019 about 20% of newspapers have closed up.
Just like loosing blacksmiths, loosing newspapers is not a good thing. Now, even if we do have access to a newspaper, they still get their much of the news they prints from the internet.
