feedMerlin Making Friends with Reporters Reporting on Reportage
I. Absolutely. Adore. Merlin's. Response. To reporters (and their ilk) calling and asking about the death. Or non-death. Of paper. Thus, I post-repost a small amount of it here, and you can follow the linkage to read and re-love the rest of it.
And somehow a special irony is almost always lost on these folks. Who use a mobile phone to call me. To ask about paper fandom. Who record our conversation to a digital device. While taking notes on a sheet of paper. Who then type the draft into a PC. And then proof a paper print-out before deadline. Who then submit their completed story to a multi-bajillion-dollar networked CMS. And who then finally get to read their clever work the next day at Starbucks — thanks to the papery dead-tree edition that has filled newspaper boxes throughout their city.

Blessings.
