Keith Rathbun, publisher of the Ohio-based Amish newspaper, the Budget, isn’t worried about the threat to newspaper sales posed by the internet, reports the Associated Press. While the paper does have an online presence, http://www.thebudgetnewspaper.com/, only local news briefs are available.
“People call The Budget the Amish Internet,” Rathbun says. “It’s non-electric, it’s on paper, but it’s the same thing.”
- Related: British journalism student Jessica Best undertook a two week internship at the paper earlier this summer with the aid of a travel grant, and shared some of her interpretations on her blog.
