I used to work at the Post and it was exciting to walk by the office yesterday and see a line of people clamoring for the paper.

But I think it's the last, best day for the printed paper. I wonder if the Post will ever sell so many copies again?

People like souvenirs of history, but how often does history happen? Before deadline? And able to get on the front page of the paper?

It's just not that often. When it happens again in 10, 15, 20 years, will the lines be as long?

I'm optimistic about the future of journalism. But I think the physical printed project, though probably not destined to go away completely, is still set to decline in numbers for very many years.
