April 7 is National Snailpaper Day to celebrate print newspapers as snailpapers. Just do it. Pick up a print paper that day and read it. Then listen to my YouTube song on my link here.

Maybe this doesn't merit a serious response. However, recent studies have shown that the vast majority of original news content on the web and in broadcast comes from newspapers.

We're not luddites trying to save print - the goal is to save news organizations (of any kind) that can pay journalists to do news that won't happen otherwise. That revenue is drying up, or just isn't there - even when it comes to digital organizations. We need a new business model. Bernie Lunzer, Pres. Newspaper Guild

Jesse and fans of Jesse and fans of newspaper and internets worldwide, my song about print newspapers, aka snailpaperes, is up soon on my youtube site, click on my name, titled "I Just Can't Live (Without My Daily Snailpaper)". It's a humorous novelty song about ...well,...about the New York Times and the WaPo and the Globe and the Boulder Daily Camera and the old Her-Ex in LA.....give it a listen and enjoy the lyrics......written by a 1950s newspaper delivery boy still in love with print

Damn, these are good, Jesse! Look at the hits you're getting! Eat it, CBC!

Miami's a Herald, and D.C.'s a Post,

Boulder's a Camera and Walter Winchells's a ghost,

So let's save our papers, preserve them in print,

Call them snailpapers, let Drudge word mint!

O life is just one long newspaper caper,

I just can't live without my daily snailpaper,

"Crash blossoms" here atomic typos, there,

O where would I be without my dear snailpaper?
