I have been reading Today's Papers daily for more than a decade. It's part of how I wake up in the morning. Like Thomas Picton, guadupede and others who've posted here today, I do not see a reason to change it. I continued to go first to Today's Papers, and then to other news sources, because TP would summarize how the major papers were reporting the top stories differently. I don't just want to know the news, I want to know the ways it's being reported because I don't trust any one news source. TP was a good, quick (and often delightfully snarky) way to begin coming at the news from different angles, daily. It reported on journalism while directing me to the news. There's lots of places to get the top news stories. I don't need one more.
I will miss TP. But I also remember writing an email to Slate complaining when my daily TP email started giving me only the first couple paragraphs and then directed me to the web. After my connection speed finally caught up to the web's content, I began to enjoy my daily visit to slate.com. So, I'll give Slate the benefit of the doubt this time and try Slatest, although I'd prefer to have Slatest AND TP.
