I'm not saying that this is the way that Trib is going to save their papers but it is something they should consider. I'm 43 and subscribe to The Pilot and Washington Post. I only pick up the hard copies to put them in the recycling bin. I read both papers daily on my iPad, usually before I get out of bed. My 78-year-old dad reads The Pilot on his iPad as well. If they did go down this road I wish they would copy the Washington Post app and ditch the awful thing they recently switched to.

During my last tenure at the Pilot, they tried out a tablet-focused product called Evening Pilot. It included something like five stories that were formatted with tablets in mind, along with the normal website. Very few people bought in and it died quickly and quietly.

The idea of tablet as new newspaper has been around a while and tested in places, but a lot of people who want to read their news online don't want to read it in newspaper format. The Pilot still has an electronic version of the paper using Olive software, which is how I still read it from D.C., but how many others do is beyond me.

I wish I knew the answer. I subscribe to a few newspapers (read online LOL) and I scan through them for work related info but what Im interested in reading is content like The Athletic. Or if a quick trip to reddit gives me an update on whats happening.

Just when I thought the VP was giving ODU better coverage, their was nothing in today's paper about the men's last season game tonight.
