How the modern business traveler gets the news

Used to be we hotel guests on the business flloors would request our newspaper of preference to get it delivered to our door each morning. That was then. Today, any publication is available to read on your mobile device.

News delivery at hotels has changed. Some still keep printed copies of newspapers somewhere in a corner of the business lounge, or by the reception desk.

However, I am seeing fewer such offerings, and more announcements such as the one above.

I have observed my own transition from making sure that I secured a copy of the USA Today or New York Times International before I went to bed, to guarantee I would have it in the morning. But not anymore.

It is also evident that fewer airlines are distributing printed copies of newspapers in their business class cabins, although this is a practice that was most prevalent among European and Asian carriers, and seldom if at all a practice of American airlines.

The transition is definitely on for how we consume news while on the road.
