Do you still buy them?
News is freely available on so many platforms now, I’ll be amazed if newspapers don’t start to disappear from the newsstands in the years ahead.
I religiously get a copy of the FT Weekend, which is balanced well written and engaging, if expensive.
The only other printed publications are the Alfa Owners Club Magazine and London Transport Museum Friends Magazine and that’s because I’m a member of both.
I still enjoy a good rummage through the paper over a pot of coffee, however with content so readily available, and so many ways to spend leisure time, how many of you still buy them and what is your motivation?

But the i at the weekend, maybe the guardian if on a longer journey.
We've constantly been told magazines, books and papers will be gone but I cant see it. For me nothing compares to reading in print. Stare at screens all day, reading print is a great excuse to get away electronics.
I would agree. Nothing replicates the tactile enjoyment of a newspaper or book for me. We've constantly been told magazines, books and papers will be gone but I cant see it.

No.
Read them?
Sometimes….using PressReader, & a library card.
Works very well, many papers and magazines available - highly recommended!
Sample of todays opening page selection (& it scrolls and scrolls….). No Times, if that is important to you.
I must try that. I will always get the FT Weekend in print, however I like the idea of dipping in and out of other news sources online. No.
