I am 22 and an avowed newspaper reader. All of my friends think I'm crazy for paying! each month to receive the Oregonian when I could go online and get my information for free. For me, I love waking up and reading the paper with breakfast. 

I grew up reading the Salt Lake Tribune, which has really gone downhill as they cut employees drastically. In my four years reading the Oregonian, I love it. I especially love the in-depth, investigative news reporting. I could get the fun sections from any news source online, but the in-depth and series reporting keeps me subscribing. 

I hope the employee cuts don't damage the paper, but I can't see how less reporters can sustain the quality I have come to expect. Good luck!
