They are physical, they don't need your phones draining battery, so they're available all the time. Fewer distractions (only if you keep a phone out of your reach), i.e. no notifications sliding over the top of your screen. Less strain for the eyes, obviously we already dedicate about 8 hours a day in front of that glaring computer screen, anything more natural is less pressure on your precious eyes. Research shows, physical newspaper readers retain more info than their e-counterparts, maybe because our brain gets too accustomed to the screen that it can't differentiate between the important and unimportant. The rule of habit helps here, users of print have the habit of going through the pages before starting the day, and it knocks your door daily. The news in the print is detailed, you get to see more than one aspect and the minute details that led to the happening etc etc.
