Alright, so not all was worth celebrating on Inauguration Day.
Eager to have a keepsake, I stopped off on the way home from work to pick up the Globe‘s special Inauguration Extra. After all, on a day like that, despite the Web and the decreasing interest in print media, you still can’t replace the tangible reminder that a newspaper provides.
I expected the Extra edition to be the day’s paper, but with an updated version of the front section. Instead, it was just an 8-page recap of the swearing-in ceremony itself, with the full text of Obama’s speech, some analysis, and a compilation of some of his previous speeches.
But that’s it, just eight pages.
What’s worse, it cost $2, which, if you don’t know, is $1.25 more than the entire daily paper.
Yes, I bought it anyway, but I felt like a real sucker.
