I can't get on the class wiki yet, so I'm going to take notes here for the whosamawhatsit. Thingermajiggy? I dunno. Anywho, I'll post my opinions here.
With the printed paper, I find you can read it easier. You don't have the screen glare, and its easier to go back and look at previously viewed pages. Its simpler and more efficient. As my classmates have mentioned, you can read it on the go. Such as on a bus, in the car, et cetera.
With online papers, you can access more info faster and cheaper than if you were to go buy a paper. It can be more organized, you can view videos, and searching for a certain article or topic is easier thanks to the search functions.
Personally I prefer the printed version. The conversations I have at home are more than entertaining and easily surpass the comments made by online readers. Reading and commenting with friends is fun too. All kinds of conversations are sparked by written articles, and its more fun to talk to friends face to face rather than posting every thought or opinion.

I'm not so enamoured with other people's comments sometimes either--although sometimes they correct the journalist's errors in thinking or facts, which I appreciate.
