When I was a print journalist, our lives revolved around the next month's issue. All the dates we dealt with had to do with some or the other deadline for the next month. It used to be so intense that we always got the current month wrong. Today was in November, not October, unless reminded that it was actually still October.

I can imagine it must be the same for print journalists with daily newspapers: they’re forever living in the tomorrow.

hehe... amusing it should be to live in the time we have no recorded memory of.

..and the retail fashionistas.
Stores are selling thick winter jackets here while the sun's beating down on us, and I distinctly remember swimsuits out in February!

Are there exclusively print journalists left?

Except for a few magazines almost everyone has an online edition that is updated on a much more frequent basis.

And I find the quality of their output has dropped drastically, bad grammar, inaccurate reporting all in hopes to get the story out first.

Just comparing the summaries from various sources on google news, makes me glad I don't get a newspaper delivered home.
