In the evolution of the game of bridge, many authors have turned to the medium of newspapers to enhance the knowledge of the many bridge players around the world. However, with the introduction of the computer and online bridge, several of these bridge jounalists have ceased their daily or weekly publications of newspaper bridge columns. This will continue to be the case in this evolution, mainly owing to the reason of being accessible to a wider audience. Below are the links to the online reproduction of bridge columns of bridge authors, who are published also in various newspapers.
