What'll Hollywood do without its clippings?

Hey, Hollywood producers ... listen up! Print news media is dying. It just needs somebody to put it out of its misery.

But ... the espionage show on AMC, "Rubicon," has spies pouring through newspapers for secret messages, clues and stuff. They seem to be big on crossword puzzles. The opening titles have several shots of newspaper classified ads.

And, some movie I've seen recently — "Inception," maybe — has its characters looking at a collection of newspaper clippings.

Somebody tell the set decorator to get with the Internet, baby.
