Admit it. You don’t just get nostalgic for "old" media. You still use it. Yes, your daily routine probably incorprates blogs, podcasts, social networks and other "new" media sources, but the old souurces are a source of comfort.
I still get the Sunday paper in print each week (and I still get mad that the local Starbucks doesn’t carry nearly enough copies of The Boston Globe). I also find that in times of big crises, I am more tempted to check out the evening news and cable shows that I often skip.
Is this due to the sense of urgency and the need for old comforts more than the comparative journalistic quality? Perhaps.
But it is interesting.
