Right now, there are no good places for comic strips to be published and still make money. For environmental reasons, drop the subscription, then donate directly to the comic strip authors.

Or maybe it has already and then facebook and the rest issued the final blow. But wouldn’t television have already become a major source of social currency?

A recent Associated Press study, "A New Model of News" (PDF), speaks directly to the social currency concept. The news can "be used in a variety of interpersonal situations—to look smart, connect with friends and family and even move up the socio-economic ladder" and "maintain relationships." http://www.slate.com/id/2196485/ There is an article actually on the decline of the newspaper in Slate, about why newspapers were so important to social movement and why they’ve been replaced:

The physical paper is so much more satisfying. You don't get the ads online, and you don't get many of the stories. I love knowing that my paper is waiting every morning in time for me to take it on the train to work. And nothing beats knowing it's waiting on Saturday and Sunday. We should be encouraging newspapers, not contributing to their decline. Don’t stop your subscription! The physical paper is so much more satisfying.
