Interesting, but then you are much younger than me, so it may well be a generational thing.
I prefer to read several newspapers and weekly news magazines (and numerous other magazines) in their paper form on a regular basis. For example, I have been a subscriber to
The Economist for several decades and my current subscription runs to 2019. I would not think to get my news from online sources; I simply do not have the faith in them that I do have in certain print media.
I don't dispute that errors are made, such as was demonstrated by the Calibre article, but I don't see that online sources are error-free (can anyone really claim, for example, with a straight face, that Fox News' reporting is error-free?).
But I suspect my preference for the print media versions is grounded in my generational upbringing.
