Where I live, the local daily newspaper until the late 1960s printed several editions from mid-morning until late afternoon. There were no local radio or television stations. There was national radio and television services and regional news on television during the early evening.

Some people had the evening paper delivered to their homes, others bought copies from vendors around the city centre.

Things have certainly changed over the years, the paper now prints a single morning edition. Local radio broadcasts give regular news updates. Plus the regional radio and televison news bulletins and endless national television news!

Thnings have certainly changed over the years. We have many television channels available and still nothing worth watching!
