I think it would be neat to have newspaper vendors on city streetcorners advertising and selling their latest articles. Heck, we already have a specific newspaper tied to each city-state, so why not? You'd be able to find The Harbor Herald in Limsa for instance. The lore articles in these papers tie specifically in to the game world and its surrounding events, rather than mechanics or patch notes, so I think it would fit right in.

Heck, we don't even need vendors. Flyers can be posted regularly on town walls or on a bulletin board that players can select and view. These kind of things only server to further enrich the game environment. There's no real downside here.

And of course, for those who like to read things they missed on the Lodestone, they can do that too. These things aren't mutually exclusive.
