How often do you buy an actual newspaper?

[RDMcG]

I used to have several delivered,but with intermittent travel let subscriptions lapse. Then stopped buying most of the weekend papers. Now down to the Saturday Wall Street Journal and the Saturday FT. These are more reviews than news.
What do others do???

[Shaw Tarse]

One can buy a newspaper??

I have heard you can still even "pay" with that old style stuff ( cash,was it?).

[Pesty]

I get linked to the daily mail and guardian from here.



Get given an 'I' free when staying in hotels

never buy one.

[Shaw Tarse]

Honestly, I can't remember the last time I bought a paper, I usually have a look at the Daily Soov online. Skim read the free local papers when they can be bothered to deliver them.

Marvel do much better comics.

Always on line now, even my local rag. The Internet adds value though because it's possible to seek out and find different viewpoints. The MSM rely too much on press releases and then cut n paste, rather than being investigative and digging a bit deeper.Good sample is of course our old friend Climate Change and stuff about the economy.

[CatJ]

I don't buy one. I just read them online now.

[Kays vRS]

I think the last time I bought a paper was in August. If I want to read a paper I pick up the Metro on the way to work.

[Smiler.]

I get the Telegraph delivered on a Saturday for the GK Crossword.

I also like the obituary & the letters pages.

I don't have time to read a paper in the week (or even over the weekend on occasions).

This site 'may' have some influence on that

[jbudgie]

Just one,-on a saturday.

With the magazines it lasts me nearly all week.

[crmcatee]

Judging from experience I'm in the once in the past 20 years category.

[Mojooo]

Never now as I have access to the internet at work and can read news for free.

the only other time is maybe if i am on a train or somewhere isolated from the internet and want to kill some time.

I have never in my life bought a newspaper and i'm nearly 30.

They strike me as a huge waste of paper (especially the Sunday papers).

[ALawson]

Telegraph tues, thurs and sat. Sunday's times.

Am thinking about getting a iPad and subscription to the telegraph or times.

[Regiment]

Never bought a newspaper in my life, the news on the Internet is just as good, allows feedback and is free. I fail to understand why people still buy newspapers in such high numbers.

Just think of how much you could save as well:

The Sun costs 30p a day, after a quick Google search.
Buying The Sun 7x a week is 7x30=£2.10 a week
A Sun everyday for a year would be £109.50

Think of all the nice things you could send that money on .

We have one delivered.
My wife likes crosswords

It is launched from a passing car and lands with amazing accuracy in the centre of our garden path.

The Norman Rockwell image of a kid on a bike is history.

Never buy one during the week, but I get the Saturday and Sunday Times most weekends. Reading online just isn't the same.

TV news.
Radio news.
The Internet.




News papers are out of date before they are printed.

Papers can't compete when it comes to breaking news, that's hardly the point. They certainly beat the sources you mentioned when it comes to analysis of a story.
