At 9:37 a.m. on Jan. 30, See Record on page A-6 Paper Boy Continued from page A-4 mailboxes but look what is happening to your Inbox (or spam collector) where your emails await. A university study last year reported that the in- formation we get online from the likes of Wikipedia stays with us fractionally as well as the information we look up in an old fashioned encyclopedia. Those university re- searchers reason that if the information is readily avail- able our brains will refuse to retain the information. As far as emails go, well, there are just too many of them so our minds tend to glean or speed-read them, which means we are drown- ing in electronic communi- cation. Most editors, reporters and newspaper readers want all the information in this newspaper placed online where it will be more readily accessible. And I say "no." "Don't you want to get Lhe story out there first and and beat your competitors to the punch?" Web design- ers ask me frantically. But that's not the busi- ness I'm in and it never has been. Radio and television used to be the media of im- mediacy. So now it is the internet. It has never been newspapers. If the news can't wait a week then we'll put out an old-fashioned "Extra" where you can read all about it. It has always been my preference to take the ex- tra time to check with as many sources as possible before going to press, to get it right is better than to get it first. And readers used to appreciate the method so much that they'd leave this newspaper around for a week. The information, not so readily available nor so readily retrievable, makes a greater impact on your brain. That's good for our advertisers too, which is another reason I shy away from putting our paper on the internet. Most people, inside and outside the newspaper industry, lay collapsing advertising revenue at the feet of Google and I have to agree with them. But it is only because the newspaper industry has placed its content on the internet where, pay wall or no pay wall, advertising doesn't work. More precisely it doesn't work well and this industry has long-relied on advertis- ing to pay its bills. A recent book, The Daily You, echoes (for me at least) the limitations of data mining and the barrage of advertising you are being thrown via the interuet. Some of it works, to be sure, but I believe that it works best the way a tele- phone book used to work (before they became too prolific) or the way point-of- purchase advertising works (eg. "other people who bought this item were also interested in..."). Most young people don't agree with me and maybe they're right, maybe I am a dinosaur. But print media has always been the most effec- tive way to get a message across because of its perma- nence and its credibility. And those things barely exist in the world of elec- tronic media and they are suffocating as the informa- tion (most of it bad) contin- ues to expand in geometric proportion. As Google gets ever closer to their namesake, as you receive the last number before infinity in electronic information, that informa- tion and the carrier of it will be rendered infinitely useless.
