I was just thinking about a fun idea for a quiz, you give us a city and we have to pick whether the paper is a times/register/chronicle/tribune or whatever the most popular paper types are. Seems hard, but flossy!

Got all 10 in 1:38. I work in the industry, so that may be the best I ever do on a Mental Floss quiz!

There may not be many PRINTED newspapers in the future, but there will always be “newspapers.” Someone has to generate the content and the last time I checked, no bloggers were bothering to cover my school district, water district, county planning board, police, etc — all of the things that effect my pocketbook. Now, if I want some snarky comments about tonight’s boob-tube eps, or your tube whatevers, bloggers got that covered.

This is a really great top ten list. That’s really funny SpaceMonkey and I don’t think that there will be any newspapers left in a short while. Newspapers will be one of those things we tel our grandchildren about. Anyone can post their own list to our sitetoptentopten.com/. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.

I’m a journalism student, and I am sorry to day that the combined senior editorial staff of the student paper I work for couldn’t get it. We missed Arizona Republic. Oops.

7 out of 10, but I don’t think USA Today should count as a newspaper. Forgot about Wallstreet Journal, never thought of Arizona Republic.

OK not fair, Wallstreet Journal wasn’t an acceptable answer so I moved on and lo and behold I missed the space!
