I wrote an article about newspapers on my blog recently. I'm interested to see how many people here actually do read newspapers - whether they be online or not.

Note that it's a multiple choice poll, for those who read newspapers both online and as a print source.

I just ordered Saturday delivery of the Globe and Mail a couple of weeks ago. I really enjoy reading the newspaper.

Yes I have a news paper subscription my subscription also includes access to their site but I prefer to read the print with my morning coffee.

as I'm not intrested in advertisements and the desaster of the day there is not much left to read in newspapers. the only reason i take a copy of the free newspaper they distribute in the vienna subway is that there's a garfield comic in it biggrin.gif

I read two of our brittish newspapers every day purely for comedy value and so I have something do to on my break from work.

So true.
It can be hard to find any news in some of them.

I read the Independent a few times a week. Mostly I get my news from the BBC, but because newspapers are much less legally constrained than the BBC I tend to find their analysis is better, and the Indie has some damn good commentary as well.

I read BNN and FAZ offline and visit news sites (N24, WEB.DE, etc.) when I'm online.

I do both, but couldn't select that on the poll so I haven't voted.

I buy the Guardian & read it online most days, as well as frequenting The Times website and BBC News.

I like to read USA Today and a more localized newspaper, The Grand Rapids Press. A day without reading the newspaper is like a day without taking a bath for me. I have to have my newspaper and OJ in the morning.

You can now biggrin.gif

Don't regularly read a newspaper myself (sometimes do if there's one lying around!) - usually just read it online!

I read the Daily Mail at home (don't start, Chris, it's all there is tongue.gif), The Times at the library sometimes, and BBC News a lot.

I read both online and text newspapers. I personally prefer newspapers from the newsagents though. In Australia, I usually buy the Sydney Morning Herald and the Sun Herald.
