I love the newspaper, and I prefer it over any other news medium. For one, it's of better quality since the USA Today and the Detroit Times have GOOD writers and objective critics while the news or the internet--especially the internet have generally poor writers and reporters by comparison.

I've noticed that a lot of people nowadays don't like to read the Newspaper, I'm just wondering if it's the same here.

I tend to read them online, so like The Times and The New York Times for my american news. I don't have the time in the morning to get a newspaper and read it, so the internet is much more convenient.

Yeah, I suppose the internet can be a good news source if you go to the right sources, but I don't like to read long articles over the internet, I prefer to have something I can hold. That's why I can't read books or anything either over the net.

I used to read the paper, but now everything is online so it makes it much easier to get information as soon as it happens. Plus now we have cable news channels 24/7.

I don't think I could read a full book, but I could do a long article. I find that I can get to everything a lot quicker (ie things that interest me more) and also, anything I don't understand or a person who I don't know that comes up is put into google and out I come with a full history of their life :lol: It really helps if you jump into something big halfway through, or if you missed something important.

I read them everyday, because I have to take a train ride that takes around 40 mins x.x

But still, I read them everytime I'm at work before giving lessons (:

Portuguese newspapers don't have brilliant writers though.

My dad gets the local paper (the Fargo Forum) delivered on Saturdays and Sundays, and I pretty much always read it then. I'm content with reading the news online, though. I always check our local newspaper's site, the Drudge Report, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and a few Irish newspapers' sites.

I read the newspapers because there are jokes in it and usually crossword puzzles and such. Other than that I dont read them at all.

I read the New York Times online regularly. And I occasionally check out the Washington Post and the Christian Science Monitor. Really the only news sources I trust concerning foreign affairs.

Last year when I was a senior in high school, I read the NY Times just about everyday since it was free, and I had a 3 hour break to kill.

I use mostly DRUDEREPORT on the web.We buy a Sunday local for the coupons.The daily just went up from 50c to 75, and there's nothing in it except how run-down Cleveland is.The USATODAY isn't local enuf to give a useful overview.
