As a journalism major, I still subscribe to the daily newspaper and relish the content it provides. Sunday mornings spent reading my phone or iPad just don't have the cache that comes with the newspaper and breakfast.
But I am surprised that USA Today and most major newspapers still dedicate a full page (or more) to listing the daily New York Stock Exchange daily stock values. This seems so antiquated. Do people really still care about yesterday's stock information when the current values can be texted to their phone (even by USA Today)? The one line of quote isn't enhanced by being in print -- as is a feature story, photographs, etc. -- it's the same High, Low, Last, Change line in either format.
I guess it is an indication that some things have lasting value and everything doesn't have to be modernized. The trick for your organization is knowing which things are which. It pays to ask before you decide for others what is important.
