No. Many people are aware of the benefits of a paper-based user interface, and many realize that news and current awareness, including opinion pieces (and comics and the cryptic crossword), do not expire at midnight.

I have been noticing fewer and fewer Globe and Mail newspapers (or sometimes not at all) in the domestic MLL which normally carry them?
Maybe fewer Globe and Mail newspapers in business class of flights? What has happened with AC's subscription to this newspaper? |

It's just so damn outdated by the time you get it. Even the opinion pieces and other things you mention where posted online the day before. Reading a paper is actually the exact opposite of "news" or "current awareness". News, of course, stands for newly received - something that news print no longer is (frankly I don't think it's even right to call it a newspaper anymore with current publications being almost instantly online), if you understand where the name news came from, it actually no longer makes sense to call it a newspaper, and it's not current awareness either - it's awareness of what happened yesterday. |

Data point:
Last Saturday I was in the YEG MLL at 19:30 and there were at least 10 G&Ms available. In other MLLs, I have observed staff toss out any/every newspaper that has been removed from the stack, no matter how pristine it may be. |
I find it easier reading printed copies of news,texts….easier and less tiresome(eyes) than reading off a screen or hand held device.

Data point:
YVR Dom MLL this morning there were a couple of stacks of G&M |

Air Canada, confirms it is eyeing an end date for the distribution of newspapers, with company VP, products Andrew Yiu telling Runway Girl Network that the carrier boards a lot of newspapers “but is getting a lot of wastage because customers have already read it when they wake up” or accessed news via their smart phone or tablet. Even in the lounges, people are using their devices and “getting away from doing physical newspapers”. He believes the carrier will be able to remove paper newspapers from aircraft before the end of 2019. Also @ACYYZ/SD posted this upthread

Changing habits. Walked from front to back on a full 787-9 yesterday with the limited stack of newspapers (both aisles) and couldn't deplete the supply.
Guessing that e-Journals a la LX/OS/LH are in the works.

Simply because provisioning inventories have been reduced to reflect lack of demand. Gave out 5 Canadian newspapers in J/PY on last nights flight.
