The author up-dates the developments of the paperless newspaper (the Guardian) in terms of the organisations involved, the production and delivery techniques and the facilities offered to visually impaired people. This is followed by a discussion of reader reactions and what they imply.

Over the past 50 years, hundreds of afternoon newspapers have lost customers & folded, but three newspapers -- the Seattle Times, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, & the San Francisco Examiner -- are struggling to hold on. Various challenges have beset afternoon newspapers including urban sprawl, rush hour traffic, distribution problems, competition from 24-hour TV news coverage, & instantaneous news on the Internet. In the past, the morning newspaper presented the breaking news while the afternoon paper specialized in analysis & commentary on that news. Since the presence of a second newspaper enhances quality through competition & strengthens democracy through the expression of differing viewpoints, the battle for survival of two newspapers in a city is of great importance. The strategies used by the evening newspapers that have survived thus far are discussed, but a shift to morning publication is the likely outcome. 4 References. L. A. Hoffman
