Welcome to you, your first post and your first typo! Good to start in style!
I subscribe digitally to too many newspapers, but only buy two weekly/two weekly paper newspapers: the Economist, which I read from the Obituary at the end to KAL’s cartoon at the beginning, and a local TV etc. guide (tele Moustique when in Brussels, a weekly, until last year Zitty, now Tip when in Berlin, a two weekly). I actually walk to the kiosk for those. I peruse the Berlin program, but I almost do not read the Brussels stuff at all. Just buy it, then throw it away.
Movies in general. Any video in general.
I’m also convulsed by young’uns who use their phone cameras vertically for landscape scenes.
zero. Every time I think about subscribing to a print newspaper I think about the stacks and stacks of old newspapers in my parent’s garage, waiting for somebody to take it to the recycling bin. Or the trash, before recycling was a thing. If the newspaper delivery also had a service where they’d take away your old newspapers, maybe then I’d be interested.
Ok, but it would have been nice had you assumed that I knew what I claimed to know and perhaps asked for clarification, instead of declaring I was wrong in a rather snarky way.
For the Trib, I read it by clicking the link in my email and it opens in a browser tab. The interface lets me “flip pages” and move around the page.
Thanks! I’ll take that typo as a compliment since English is not my first language and we’re all learning anyway. But if I were you, I wouldn’t buy newspapers knowing that I threw them away in the end
Besides, what’s on paper newspapers are also available on digital newspapers (the news ofc).
We were eating dinner from a food truck last night at a brewery. I saw a minivan pull up to fill a newspaper box. Remembering that I needed newspaper for birdcage use, I walked over.
I handed over a dollar and reached for a paper from the “old” pile. He corrected me, offering a new/current version. I told him it was for a birdcage and asked “how much for a couple of old papers?”
He ended up giving me the stack of eight newspapers for a dollar!
We subscribe to our local newspaper. It’s owned by post media news which tilts a bit to the right. We get both the on line and paper versions. My wife reads the on line version but I prefer the paper version. Better for when I do the “Al Bundy” routine.
New Hampshirite here. I live in the central part of the state (The Lakes Region)
The Laconia Daily Sun is free and published daily from Tuesday thru Saturday. I usually pick up a few copies a week.
The Weirs Times is free and published weekly. The PennySaver (which is just classified and ads) is also free and published weekly.
The Laker is free and published monthly. I pickup them up regularly.
The Record Enterprise is a local newspaper published weekly and the only newspaper I read regularly I have t0 buy—it’s only $0.75.
I occasionally get a copy of The Concord Monitor or Manchester’s New Hampshire Union Leader–usually it would be their Sunday Edition.
I haven’t bought a newspaper published outside NH in years.
Two: a local weekly and a slightly less local daily.
I like reading a newspaper while I eat (I’m usually eating alone), and I don’t want to worry about spilling something on a tablet.
I read and/or work some of the time online, and a paper newspaper’s a relative rest for the eyes.
I like to sometimes read something it’s actually possible to finish reading. Online news is effectively infinite.
And I heat primarily with wood, and use old newspaper as firestarter; as well as occasionally for cleaning or dropcloth.
