Walked through downtown Kyiv last month and saw how they're keeping newspapers running with generators

@loganburns makes a good point about how tough paper can be. I actually read a piece in The Guardian a few weeks ago about that very thing. They interviewed a newspaper editor in Kharkiv who said they've been running off a diesel generator since the power grid got hit back in October. The whole press line eats up about 40 gallons of fuel a day, which they have to haul in from volunteers and relief groups. It's pretty amazing that people are still buying physical papers when they can get news on their phones for free. But I guess when the internet goes down, a folded up newspaper is a lot more reliable than a dead battery.
