Yes but only because it’s my job. ---

There’s kind of an excluded middle to that poll. I, for instance, get the Sunday paper. So I read one regularly, just not every day. ---

I don’t read anything in print any more. I stopped getting my last two magazines when both went through a major redesign that ended every article with “If you want to read the rest of this, go see our web page.” OK, fine, but I’ll go find a web site I don’t have to pay for. ---

There’s copies of the Wall Street Journal floating around my office during the work week, so I often read that. I used to get the Sunday Chicago Tribune, but that lapsed. Maybe I’ll resubscribe if I get a good deal ---

LA Times every morning. Front page for me, crossword for my lovely wife, and comix for the kid (followed by me). I then hit the editorial page. From there, every page in Business and the Front, followed by the California section. Summer is here, so Saturdays will be the LA Times and the New York Times while sitting around all day at the pool while the kids swims. ---

I read a newspaper daily for almost 50 years, starting when I was about six. (Obviously, at six, I was more interested in the comics that anything else. More general interest in news (and sports) didn’t come along till I was about ten.) Even with all my moving around, I never felt like I really lived somewhere until I had a library card and a newspaper subscription. That ended in St. Louis, when I watched, practically before my eyes, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch turn from a pretty good paper into fishwrap. I still buy the Sunday paper, usually, but it’s more for the coupons and store ads than anything else. (ETA: I do read the rest of the paper, as long as I have it anyway.) I am not at all happy with online versions of newspapers and I read none of them daily either. I pick up my news from aggregators and from here. ---

> [@Athena](#): > > I don’t understand the big difference between reading a newspaper on paper or on-line every day; before we could get quality news online, I subscribed to and read a physical newspaper every day. Now that I can get quality news online, I subscribe to and read an online newspaper every day. Honestly the only difference is I was curious about who reads a physical paper. I’m not deeming one better than the other. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-read-a-newspaper-everyday/721255.md?page=2)
