So it's Sunday morning and as I was casually reading the newspapers, I started to wonder if any of you still enjoy reading a morning news paper. For me I always enjoyed reading the Sunday Times with a good cup of coffee . Oh I still enjoy reading a paper book once in a while.

My hard copy LA Times will land with a thump in my driveway later on this morning. |

I started reading newspapers as a kid, and I still do.
A subscription to the local paper includes a daily link to read it online, but I only use that when I don’t have access to the physical newspaper.

I didn't give up newspapers----they gave up me! The Times and The Journal ain't what they used to be, and that is all that I'll say about that, but reading the Sunday paper is a ritual that for me ended along with the twentieth century. Watching the evening news is another bygone ritual. Now I learn all I need from Moe's.

Yeah, if you want to read up on anything these days you have to spend an afternoon looking at several sources and eventually figure out through some triangulation what is really going on. Some of the best news sources I know of tend to focus on just a few things at a time, more magazine style than newspaper style.
If any paper became a good one-stop-shop again, I'd be inclined to subscribe.

I use to read the paper everyday but it has lost a lot of its appeal. I only get Wed and Sun for ads mainly but the ads are even sparse since the pandemic .

The papers printed in my state are good for wrapping up fish guts before they go in the trash -- not much else.

still a ritual, a paper newspaper, with full page of comics, while eating breakfast.
local news is pretty miserable in its coverage, but you get what you can...

I read my hometown newspaper every day for 35 years. Still read it online since I moved away.
The few in-house reporters that remain cover the local news. The rest of it is a collection of AP reports which are very slanted.
If that paper is still around in 3 years, I'll be very surprised.

I read the app of my local paper and one New York paper.
The local one has switched to a scheme where only certain articles are public, and the rest require a $100 annual account. I haven’t signed up, basically because I was getting the same thing for years for free and then they took it away.
I did find another app called “News Break”, the theory is it pulls content from papers local to you and gives you them in one spot. They get the unlocked version of the articles from my local paper.
I was getting too much non-local stuff I didn’t care about, so I deleted it. I probably should’ve looked to see if it could be fine-tuned.

Used to buy the local paper everyday.
Only buy the papers on Saturday now, and have a browse through them over lunch.
They are written by people much younger than me nowdays.
