News, newspapers and stories....maganews? storiews?

I just finished reading 2-3 week old papers (both news and magazines)... Talouselämä magazine is a good exampe of "ageless" stories. Even the news in that magazine have a life span of weeks. Educational stories.
This reminded me of the numerous times that I havee been reading, in the worst case, years old magazines with out any major "doh" as long as the articles have been stories with permanent educational values. (where!? well in huussi :) and in numerous old style cafes and in waiting rooms of doctors, ...)
This reminded me of the way I have been forced (too often by life) to read Hesari only during weekends. That is week's papers on one looong morning. Skipping basically all the "news" (aka this happened just) since I have already read the online or heard in radio/TV when the happened. Concentrating on articles, stories, which share background analysis about what is going on now. Concentrating on articles which are about everlasting phenomenas.

The future of the newspapers is in freeing us from the constant and massive flow of news. Giving us the possibility to take the time in a sunny balcony and fully concentrate on what someone thinks of the world. Creating lasting value instead of trying to compete on whose the first and who gets the most clicks.

Say No - it is great

"No thanks. Not interested." - what a wonderful & respectful response! Good straight forward fast "No" keeps thin...
