In this ever increasing digital world of ours, the mobile/tablet/computer screen still seems to lack something to convey our most emotional events.
In the case of Brazil's most humiliating defeat ever, I feel the need to see, as well as read/watch, as many different viewpoints as possible. It's about participating in the human experience. Although I am not walking by the newsstand itself, or seeing the papers littering public transportation, I know it is there. I know I could touch the paper, and to know that somehow lends these images much more weight than a yahoo web page alone.

You can appear on ‘Meet the Press.’ Celebrities and politicians like being on actual covers on the newsstand. They have stripped the costs way down. So really, what do they have to lose?”
