I agree. A local paper is probably not interested in the eternal
debate about which produces the better images. They are primarily
writing for either a nonphotographic or point and shoot audience.
They want to know what more whether they can get their prints at the
same places, if there are new ways to get them printed like the
internet and if they will look different. They want to know how easy
it is to print it themselves, whether they save money doing it, and
to provide images to family over the internet. They also might be
interested in the accelerating disappearance of film products and how
their film is no longer processed optically anyway and their digital
images may be better than the automated scans in the middle of
processing of their film.
