A physical Paper, not a website. I do. I am lucky enough to live in an area that has a every good Newspaper and I have read it pretty much every day since I was a teenager (except for when I lived away from the area). I know this makes me an anachronism but I am curious by how much. So, do you read one, every day or nearly every day?
I used to for years. That ended when my local paper switched to only twice a week delivery.
I really miss doing that.
mmm
I *wish *I did, I subscribe to a paper online but not a paper paper.
Having a paper to read at the beginning of my day suggests having the time to do so. That I don’t have.
Yes, but probably not for much longer.
Read the SF Chronicle 7 days from around 1980 on. (Gave up around 2000 when it exceeded even my tolerance for gushing BHL’ism with a multi-part piece on, gawdelpus, “The Shame of Our City.”
NYTimes, 7 days for a few years, Sundays since about 2000 or so.
Right now we get the Times and the only full-scale newspaper even remotely close to our rural location, and it’s a pathetic rag copy-edited from Chicago (so anything with local overtones, regional terminology or needing on-the-ground understanding is screwed up; the rest is chain boilerplate.) I work with a couple of former reporter/editors who quit when it was slashed to a rewrite rag a few years back. (One’s got a Pulitzer.) It’s right on the edge of cancellation, but as a long-time junkie I just can’t go to a digital edition. (Tried.) It will be a loss the first morning there’s no paper to go retrieve, but it’s honestly the smallest part of my generous news diet anyway. Just the little side garnish I can’t quite give up even though I don’t really like cole slaw.
Always while I’m eating my breakfast burrito at work. It’s my routine. It’s a free daily that is delivered to a box right out side. Lots of local info in it. Takes perhaps 15minutes to read it.
I’m always in the office first, and then my co-workers pass it around.
No, not since online became an option.
I used to read the daily local paper for local news. However, “local news” these days seems to consist of fires and accidents, not actual, you know, politics. What’s being discussed at school board and town hall meetings. That’s news. We don’t have that anymore.
I used to read the Post fairly regularly, but their prices got ridiculous and they lost a lot of talent. So I never buy it anymore. The local coffee shop often has a copy or two lying around, so I’ll read it when I’m there.
Yeah I remember those things. It was just 8 years ago I was reading a paper daily. Last time I saw a daily paper there was almost nothing in it.
I dropped the paper when my very good local paper was bought out and wrecked by Gannett. I read my news online mostly.
Nope. I dropped my paper subscription the day the headline on the front page was about a local football player being on Dancing With the Stars. That was the final straw of the paper no longer being relevant to me.
I do check in online, but I skip a lot of articles.
My Ex-Creep was a paper hoarder. Newspapers, scraps of paper, notes, computer printout paper (80’s) for his kids to draw on, old magazines… And all that paper got shoved into cardboard boxes which we moved from house to house. Along with the cockroaches that were setting up a freaking colony in there. I occasionally get a newspaper when I’m out like the Houston Chronicle or the Morning News. The Austin paper isn’t very good. I pick up a daily Texan at work for the crossword puzzle. But I’ll never have home delivery again. When I do buy a paper, I cull it down to news, sports, and lifestyle and put the rest in recycling. I very rarely will bring any part inside my apartment. (Shudder)paper.
Never. I don’t want papers piling up in my apartment and then having to haul them down to the recycling all the time when I don’t read 75% of it. I do have an online subscription to the Washington Post that I use almost daily.
I wish it was possible to get only the Sunday paper delivered. Our local paper you can get a full subscription or a weekend (Friday/Saturday/Sunday). We used to do that, but having two of three papers go unread each week was such a waste. Getting up, dressed and driving out to pick up just the Sunday paper sort of defeats the purposed of leisurly having coffee, reading the paper, and doing the crossword on Sunday mornings.
Not unique to newspapers by any means, but the attempt for papers to be blog/newsfeed/online-ish is the tolling of the funeral bell.
The San Jose Merc every day. It’s not that great a newspaper, but it’s the one that is most local for me. New York Times on Sundays only. Been reading the Sunday Times ever since I was in college (back in the Stone Age). Can’t imagine a Sunday morning without it, unless I had some big activity planned where I just didn’t have the time.
Sunday Review first?
I get too frustrated with newspapers. They rarely follow-up on the stories that interest me and never seem to ask/answer the questions I have about a story.
No. I do read the local paper every week (it’s a weekly).
I used to, back in the previous century.
Then they stopped delivering them to my area in a timely fashion, due to waning demand.
I tried to keep up with them when I could after that, but they kept getting thinner and thinner,with less and less meaningful content.
Now I read “The Week” magazine. But that’s pretty much it for print news anymore.
Nitpick: It’s “every day,” not “everyday.”
I read newspapers a few times a week at most.
