I get the sentiment, I just don't think reading on the page as opposed to on a screen is that much of a big deal. It takes discipline to not get distracted when you're reading something from your phone or your computer, but it's not like it's that much more effort than physically picking up a paper and very knowingly not using your phone.
A lot of people buy books. But a lot of people don't read the books they buy, so that feeling of guilt isn't enough of a motivator for a lot of people.
This really just seems like a guy bragging about doing the retro thing and reading a newspaper. Which I'm pretty sure is a more expensive subscription than just the payments to read online articles.

IDK. I used to buy newspapers on Sundays, and enjoyed reading throughout the week. Carried it out everywhere like the old man I am.
I enjoyed the medium, the presentation, as well as the content. There are no intrusive ads, no comments, no autoplayed videos, and (maybe most importantly) no Whatsapp, no notifications, and no other tabs. Frankly, some of my country's newspapers are beautiful, at least to my old-man-eyes.
Sunday papers are usually really thick, with news from the previous week and special coverages. I stopped buying because national newspapers became too polarized for me to trust them, but if I find that that is not the case anymore I'll resume that habit. It's a very practical way to get a good grasp of the events of the country and world. And I do find it is much harder to concentrate using screens.
The author may have been overly positive, but I really think there’s much to gain by reading news in print.
