Do you read your local/area newspaper? If so, the print version or online paper?

Lynn said...- This is bad, but I don't. I used to subscribe to the print
edition of the Atlanta Journal and Constitution (aka the AJC), but they
would pile up unread. My excuse is not being home nearly enough. I
tend to view the evening news on TV and / or look up news events online
if something is happening.
Alan Ginocchio said...- On-line version...
Granny Annie said...- I subscribe to the big city paper 7 days which entitles me to
online version as well. I also subscribe to our local paper that is not
available online and only comes out once a week. When you live on a
farm and raise chickens there is always a use for newspaper after you
read (scan) it:-)

- I do subscribe to our town newspaper but it is a weekly and can be read in about 10 minutes. For non-local news, I go online.

- I quit reading The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2003, the day
they reported American soldiers being killed in Mosul before their
Georgia parents were notified. They just don't have anything to say that
I can't learn elsewhere.
The Spooky Whisk said...- No.
Barb said...- I don't read the local "rag" which comes out daily. I used to be
hooked on the Sunday NY Times, but no more. News is so sensationalized
lately. I'd rather read fiction that isn't pretending to be truth.

- I buy the weekend papers and spend a few leisurely hours reading
them with cups of coffee to sustain me, sometimes a stack of toast.
I used to read the free weekly paper, but it is no longer delivered to blocks of flats, because too many people just left it in the mailbox* or threw it on the ground as litter. Now I have to get it from the supermarket and I don't always bother.
* recently a friend of mine was chastised at the housing office for calling it a mailbox, it is now to be called a letterbox as mail (male) is seen as discriminatory.
What next FFS?
LL Cool Joe said...- I read two newspapers a day, they are not local but cover news in
the UK and of course worldwide news as well. I wouldn't read our local
paper, I'm not sure one exists anyway, but I wouldn't think reading
about a cat being stuck up a tree or the neighbours complaining about a
bonfire, would be that interesting. We have the papers delivered.

- I love reading our weekly local paper but sadly the pages are
more full of business ads than actual news these days. The local
newspaper office has recently moved to the nearby larger town, so I'm
sure there will be less and less news about local events and people I
know.

- I pick up a paper about once a week and otherwise get news from
PBS and online. I am always disappointed in the quality of our local
paper -- such a pale reflection of what it once was.
Silver Willow said...- Haven't subscribed for many years, and for my sanity, have
removed all online links/bookmarks for the news until the next few weeks
are over. ;)
G. B. Miller said...- I was always voracious newspaper reader. Always read the major
daily. However, some time in the late 90's, I started switching to New
York newspapers (baseball mostly), then Boston metro area (football
mostly), then gave up on the Hartford Courant (or Hardly Current as I
like to call it) when it became too left of center like its parent
company the Chicago Tribune. I now read the local daily M-F for
lunchtime perusing. Beyond that, I get my news online.

- I get the Saturday and Sunday papers delivered. And when I go
out during the week to do my grocery shopping I buy the papers. On
other days I read online.

We subscribe to the Hawaii Star Advertiser newspaper 7 days a week. However, I also check my CNN news app and have the Skimm emailed to me. And then I watch the evening news as well. We like to know what's going on everywhere.

ReplyDeleteRecently I had a letter from the daughter of an old friend telling me her mother had died. I realised that had I had the local paper I would have known so this week I bought one. I doubt I shall keep it up.
