I was watching Babylon 5 the other day, a science fiction show set in the future, which was produced before mainstream commercial use of the internet. A couple of the characters went to a kiosk, told the computer their preferences, and it printed out a completely customized newspaper for them.
That was interesting to me, because I read a completely customized "newspaper" every day over the internet using email and google reader. What I like is that many of the "articles" in my "newspaper" are released directly by the source, instead of being filtered through a journalist. A futuristic idea from a TV show is now a reality.
I have a regular news "section," but I also have comics, technology, politics, history, education, linux, programming, business, roleplaying, ham radio, aquarium keeping, parenting, government, columnists, and my favorite, the family section where I read all your blogs.
I'm interested to hear what is in your "newspapers." Let me know in the comments.
