Topic awaiting preservation: Do you read a newspaper? (Page 1 of 1)

Recently, a professor asked how many in the class reads a newspaper daily. I was shocked to see only a handful of college students actually read one. I'm curious how many read a major newspaper daily and what they read.

Personally, I read the NY Times, Washington Post, & Wallstreet Journal daily. I also subscribe to the Economist which is a magazine.

The Herald-Sun for me...only one of three daily rags over here...

The Oregonian, and the Columbian. (Oregon and Washington papers, sinceI live on the border, for the most part)

i read daily the "kärntner Tageszeitung" a newspaper from austria and i read some global news online.

only the online versions...

2 local papers have good websites that have more info and less advertising than the actual paper, and for free.

=)

Globe & Mail, plus online editions of a couple more.

Not that anyone could have guessed but The Guardian - I find it easier to read in paper form.

Like DL, I do read the online versions....my time does allow me to go shop or pickup one and flip pages and read it..whereas online version you can always ALT-TAB read then ALT-TAB and code.

I read the Herald Sun, same as Skaarjj. Here in Melbourne Australia (where the kangaroos live) we only have three major newspapers. One is mind numbingly boring. The other is mind numbingly large and complicated, and requires you to have absolutely fantastic dexterity just to read the headline on the front page.

The other one is good.

I used to read 'The San Juan Star' daily... but not no longer..

..now it's usually Slashdot and CNN.com for me...

I've just kinda stopped giving a shit about what's going on around the world...

i'm checkin CNN.com every day....only online news

Almost everyday i get my copy of metro or spits, both free and an easy format to read in the train or bus.
I don't have much time to read a paper so doing it when i go to work is perfect for me.

I only read the online versions too. I have always *hated* reading paper newspapers. I know my high school government teacher would kill me for this but I also listen to lots of radio news and television news. I ping pong around several different web sites for information as well as needed.

On the train to university I read whatever newspaper I find, but I only read online newspapers daily.

Yes, being another Aussie I might sometimes read the Herald Sun. The local town paper I read too, always someone I know rearing their ugly head in it. The main one I read is MX which is this rather trashy, infotainment - althought interesting and a great time filler - newspaper I read on the train home from Uni. They give them out for free to nearly every single commuter. That's the only thing everyone does on the trian from Melbourne to wherever these afternoons\nights after work\school\whatever is read MX and then litter the damn train with them.

The Greensboro News & Record sucks pretty bad. Supposedly, newspapers are written for an 8th grade reading level, but I'm pretty sure some of these writers aren't hitting much higher than 6th... I only scan it on Sundays, when we get it for the classifieds.

I get most of my news from the various news channels on cable, and of course, all you lovely folks!

I do recall being encouraged, when I was in school, to read the paper daily. But I've never thought my local paper was worth the money, not to mention the time it takes to read it from front to back... That, and it fills up the recycling bin rather quickly...

I pickup USA Today about once a week, and Listen to NPR Daily. SLASHDOT for online stuff.

Pioneer Press and the Eagan Sun-Current for me, otherwise I just listen to Michael Savage or Bill O'Reilly on the radio.
