The Convergence of the Newspaper

One of my all time favorite things about high school was getting up in the mornings.  You see, my mom and I had this daily routine.  We would both get up around six and begin our day.  Part of the reason we got up so early was because high school begins at a ridiculously early time.  The other reason was because we liked to get up early enough so that we could have enough time to eat breakfast together and read the newspaper together.  We would swap articles, discuss a topic being written about, or just sit there quietly reading.  I never knew how much I appreciated reading the newspaper every morning until I went away to college.  I don't have the luxury anymore of walking out my front door and bringing inside the freshly printed newspaper that was delivered to my door step.  Instead, I have to look up my local newspaper's articles online.  Without the convergence of newspapers expanding online, myself and others like me wouldn't have the opportunity to read our local newspapers at our own convenience.
