So I mentioned that I subscribed to four papers recently<\/a>. Previously, I’ve been taking a couple of local weeklies, and I’ve let my oldest read them after I finished. He’s been a little unimpressed with them.<\/p>\n

But he likes The Wall Street Journal<\/em>. A lot. And I can see why: It’s a national paper with national and international news, business reports, and feature writing every day<\/em> instead of a couple pages of news stories including little informal columns covering small towns and churches and perhaps a column to read every week (Jim Hamilton or Larry Dablemont). So he gets the paper off of the driveway and reads it before I do most days.<\/p>\n

And it has inspired him to start his own paper.<\/p>\n

He’s starting high school this fall. By this age, I had worked for two middle school papers and had put out at least on dot-matrix-printed newspaper, the fan letter for the official Cricket Fan Club that I mentioned here<\/a> (with other Cricket pictures and memories here<\/a> and here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I already have the first copy of the South Street Journal<\/em> on my desk. It has stories about Mixer, Microsoft’s game streaming service, closing down as well as some recycled jokes. Not a lot of news, though, as Nogglestead is pretty quiet of late. So it’s more of a Reader’s Digest<\/em> than a Wall Street Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And it’s better than spending all of his day on video games and YouTube compilations of YouTube videos. Although I am pretty sure some of the time he spends on the laptop working on his articles he’s really cruising Instagram. Just like a real journalist. Except I guess they use Twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
