Personalized Newspaper

Nowadays, with all my electronic media gadgets, I rarely buy a newspaper, but when I do I often remove and leave behind the irrelevant sections of the newspaper pages I don't want. Still ending up with a lot of stuff I don't want to see in my newspaper copy.

How about having a printing facility at newsagents where you can purchase your personal copy of X Times, X Herald, X Tribune or what ever name you want for your paper. Replace the X with your name, your pet's name or whatever name you wish.

To reduce the time for waiting the printing process to finish your copy you could pre-purchase your copy by using text message or the Internet to purchase your copy.

By ordering via the Internet you could be your own editor and say what pages or advertising you want.

You could compile the news and articles from different sources. Helsingin Sanomat, Sydney Morning Herald and some computer magazine in my case. And I miss those pictorial crosswords from Finland, my old country. Also getting some random stories based on your interests.

You could opt out having ads at all but then you would pay more as ads do subsidize the price of newspaper.

Reducing usage of paper would be substantial and lots of trees would be saved.
