Eventually, just about every jurisdiction will have to change their laws. How many more years are newspapers actually going to be around? As the population ages, more and more of their customers are dying off every year, and the younger generations are used to getting their news on an electronic device.....phone, tablets, computers, etc.
I don't even remember the last time I actually bought a newspaper. I can read all the local news online for free and I don't have a big mess to clean up after! You don't even need them for the coupons anymore because you can just find what you need online and print it out, or some of them you can even download to your phone.
Besides that, it's a big expense that the storage places shouldn't have to pay for. Newspaper advertising is so expensive, especially in the bigger city newspapers. Why publish ads in the local newspaper when you can run as many ads as you want on craigslist for free?
Having said all that.....I still do run ads for about three days in my local paper running up to any large garage sales or especially estate sales I'm having........that same group of people that are dying off are the same people that have a tendency to bring large amounts of money to estate sales, and they're still reading the newspaper!
