I was reading a piece in the Boston Globe about how Gannett, in a self-described "bold" move, is cutting back on print editions and delivering the ones that are left via the US Mail. Which means that they won't be using paperboys anymore. As someone who worked both as a paperboy and a newspaper reporter for Gannett when I was (much) younger, I have some thoughts about how this reflects both a disconnection from community and a misuse of the word "bold."
