Buy a newspaper instead of ... anything else.

Wayne Garcia writes today to implore readers to purchase Tampa Bay dailies. I'm hopeful that the print generation survives, so I think I'm going to take on a new practice to help it along.

It's my New Media Resolution to purchase a newspaper every time (ok, maybe at least half the time) I want to go to one of the campus snack shops: The Front Room, Baker Center food court or even Bagel Street Deli (I cannot resist the oweoh).

I figure that I stop by one of these spots to buy a non-three-meal-a-day snack at least once every few days to the tune of about $2. While pumping occasional dollars back into newspapers isn't going to save the print generation, I'll get a small sense of fulfillment out of knowing I've supported the medium I love.
