KIRK GETS 3 1/2 YEAR SENTENCE
This was the headline story. A reclusive widow who was sentenced to prison after refusing to bury her husband. I could find no trace of her name online.
Today we don't buy a newspaper or watch TV. We gather news on the internet from all over the world. Measure the opinion of the New York Times, against the Guardian, dip into the BBC, CBC, NPR, Al Jazeera, then maybe every couple of months, Spiegel online or the Irish Times. Print newspapers still exist, but for how much longer?
