Some joys can't be digitized. Reno News & Review has got the write stuff. It's back in print, and…read moreit remains free. I read Reno News & Review for hyper-local news. I enjoy its local restaurant and entertainment reviews; local man on the street interviews; local biting commentary, local thorough investigative reporting instead of Russian push-bots' internet propaganda, as well as Reno News & Review's local calendar feature, comic strip and local advertisements. Yes, advertisements. Any business that will advertise here is usually a business that I'll want to support. I see Reno News & Review as a good source of relaxation. Then, I come from a family of voracious and obsessive print readers. The print version of a newspaper is more successful at capturing and keeping my attention for longer periods. Academic studies have shown greater retention and comprehension from print than electronic reading. I like the scent of a newspaper, I like the rustling sound of a newspaper, and I like the tactile experience of holding it. On my couch, green ice tea with fresh lemon for sipping, Reno News & Review in hand, I read not bombarded from a page that isn't glowing at me with bright ads blinking like Times Square. Reno News & Review is easier to navigate than the internet. On my laptop I am beckoned incessantly to click on one link or another or still another, boxes of irrelevant video appear and disappear, audio screeches out unbidden, ads scurry across the screen obstructing the paragraphs I'm trying to read. There there's those internet comments. I'm not terribly interested in what people I don't know or respect post in their internet comments. Internet algorithms push me toward internet stories and ads that they reckon must be of related interest to me, as though my having seen an internet story about some celebrity's broken finger I will now be desperately eager for a post of the latest developments in that celebrity life --I'm not. The computer generates heat, which on a hot day is just not cool. The newspaper could never be so noisy or presumptuous or raising the temperature in the room. The newspaper page holds still. The newspaper is not the echo chamber of my own interests that is amplified by my internet searches and visits. All that is 3 stars. Print is another star and free is another star totaling a High-5 star rating. Then I feel concerned about trees being chopped down to produce print and vehicle pollutants and them clogging up the motorways to distribute the print. Then I remember the tremendous cost to store all the digital stuff which all have their own staggering ecological impacts as they draw power from "dirty" electricity grids. A single data center can consume the equivalent electricity of 50,000 homes. There are some 10,000 data centers globally. Data centers now have a greater carbon footprint than the airline industry, which itself is huge huge huge. Collectively, data centers are among the top-ten water-consuming industrial or commercial industries in the US. A lot of that water is potable - that is drinking - water coming straight from the utility. There's no substitute for print for me and it turns out that many people agree. Long live Reno News & Review.

It's also is the highest circulation paper among several in the region targeting readers in Eastern California and Northern Nevada. When Gayle and I come to Genoa to visit her mother, the Nevada Appeal and the Record Courier are usually at the front step early in the morning. It's really not a very good paper if you're looking for actual news. And often times, the inserts outweigh the paper itself. However, I'll be generous with my rating since the local information is mildly interesting and it is something to read on the deck in the morning as Gayle and I marvel at the beauty of the Carson Valley.
