melanie_marie27 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 And I'm talking the good old-fashioned black and white newspaper delivered to your door.. Nowadays, it seems people turn to the Internet, their phones, the news, or even social media for the latest updates on pretty much anything. The Macomb Daily keeps calling our house. I suspect they are slowly going out of business. What about you guys - anyone still get the daily/weekly paper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazycrab Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) I haven't regularly read a newspaper in years, to honest I think tabloids are mostly full of crap. They claim to report "News" but always from some kind of bias, not to mention printed papers are always at least day out of date not exactly kind to the environment. I know some of these problems exist with online articles too but you can check their sources and it's just much more convenient.

The Blackangel Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I still read the newspaper, but that's just to keep up on local news. There's very little about world events. For example there was only a small article about the queen dying. It's a good way to get local news, and also line my bird and rat cages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akun Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 It's hard to even trust normal news from mainstream media these days. Why would I go out of my way to buy a piece of paper that might be filled with the tiresome political bickering I have enough of on Twitter?

Heatman Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I can't remember the last time I read a printed newspaper. It's been ages but what I usually read often are magazines because they always have it at one of my favorite hotels. Also, some buses here have magazines in it that I read once in a while.

killamch89 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Occasionally, yes - the digital version that is. I haven't bought a physical newspaper in at least two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Sometimes. I might read the sports pages (about the F1), but that's pretty much it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonface Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I don't, but I can say that we sell a decent amount of newspapers in the store I work at. I can't speak for currently, but the last time I ever went to London newspapers were popular on the trains and people would even leave theirs behind for the next person who sits in that seat to just pick up and look through if they so wished. I did that one time (picking up someone else's paper they left behind) and got ill though, so I wouldn't do it again. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD Yeah, that's definitely not hygienic at all - I'm kind of glad I don't physical copies of the newspapers because if my dog got it before me, my yard would be littered with it.

Kale Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I have not read the newspaper at all in a long time. I sometimes will read it if eating at my favorite diner while waiting for food though. As others said, I may read like the sports section or read the comic book strips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerodynamik Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I tend to read a paper one every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole issue I've always had with newspapers, it's always the negative events they put at the front and the more positive events are buried deep in the paper.

Maul Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I used to always get it delivered Monday to Saturday and get the Sunday paper as well that was through a different publication. It turned out that it was cheaper to read it online. It's a bit different reading it online than on paper as you have to zoom in occasionally. But it's just as good.

Shortie Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 It has been a very long time since I ever bought or had a newspaper delivered to my house at all. I always find the latest news I need on either the world wide news or on my local news website and I don't feel the need to buy a newspaper anymore. I can understand why some people will still use this method though and why they are still printed as there are many people that just prefer a newspaper or do not have online access to see the news online.

Bizdustry Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I do not read the newspaper. I only read publications online nowadays, and the best part? The last time I checked the internet is free, but advertising will always pop up in front of you unless your using an adblocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
