Phil Bronstein, the San Francisco Chronicle's editor at large, gave New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, pictured at left, a tour of his city's journalistic haunts and, as she reported, "His tour ended with cold comfort, as he observed that longer life expectancies may keep us on life support. 'For people who still love print, who like to hold it, feel it, rustle it, tear stuff out, do their I. F. Stone thing, it’s important to remember that people are living longer,' he said. 'That’s the most hopeful thing you can say about print journalism, that old people are living longer.'”
