BURLINGTON – Former newspaper The\u00a0Burlington\u00a0Free\u00a0Press<\/em> announced yesterday that it will officially be designated as a “blog with print option” from now on. They celebrated this change by reposting a story from two years ago as their lead news article on the front page<\/a> of their print option, and have plans to recycle many old news stories in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is going to save us a lot of money,” said President Jim Fogler. “It has always seemed such a shame to me that our people write so many great articles and then we only get to use them once. Now people are going to have the chance to re-enjoy news from several years ago. Is it technically “news” anymore? No, but most people don’t know the difference. I had six people I know post on Facebook this week that Captain Kangaroo died, and he passed away in 2004! Nobody cares when the news is from, they just want to read it!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organization has not confirmed how long they intend to keep the print option alive, but did casually mention that it is hard to capture the essence of a GIF in newsprint. Current subscribers will continue to receive their papers, and Fogler says that they shouldn’t notice any difference at all, unless they are paying close attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
