Who still gets a newspaper

[low-key]

delivered at there house ?

not I

 

[Colleen27]

I don't, only because it costs more to have it delivered than to buy it at the store. I do buy a paper a couple days a week, and pick one up at school (free) on the days I'm on campus, because I prefer reading the paper copy better than using the paper's (frankly terrible) website. But I don't subscribe because we're technically outside the circulation area and I won't pay the extra charge for delivery.

I get Sunday and Wednesday. Sunday for the sales ads and Wednesday for the grocery ads.

 

[RedAngie]

Only on Sundays. It used to be everyday, but at least half the papers were tossed out unread.

Its a shame that its a dying industry

 

[Angeejoe]

I get the daily paper

We do. Hubby also buys the "other" big paper in our area a couple of times a week on his way to work. He's a voracious reader.

 

[Kellykins1218]

We don't but our local paper is really a joke. Biased stories full of typos and an editor who starts arguments and insults people who make any kind of comment disagreeing with him on the paper's website edition.

We stopped a few years ago. We were throwing them all away unread. We get a free newspaper most fridays and that often goes unread as well. My mother OTH reads the local paper daily and the Boston paper every Sunday.

Haven't been a subscriber since the 70s. Stopped reading a physical copy of the paper about ten years ago.

I do...every day. Can't shake the habit...lI work on a computer all day, but love the printed paper. Hate newspaper websites.

 

[Poohforyou]

We get the wall street journal delivered daily. We also get 3 local papers weekly papers delivered in the mail.

 

[CPanther95]

The newspaper is obsolete because nobody cares to read yesterday's news.

But I miss reading it every day over a cup of coffee.

We get the daily local paper---takes 10 minutes to read tops! However, it has local stories and local sports, posts the honor rolls for all the schools, and columns from locals. I like the letters to the editor as they seems to print crazy stuff. It's a real paper--just a small city paper. We also get the NYT on the week-ends for "all the news that's fit to print". I like a cup of coffee and the style section!

I think it is less "dying" than "changing". People still want to read the news. They just don't necessarily want it delivered to their doorsteps. I subscribe to the digital edition of two newspapers with a national focus and read three local papers on a regular basis but the only one I read on paper is the Detroit daily because the website sucks so badly.

I agree but the "newspaper" is dying

Fair enough. There's just no room for printing schedules in our modern, right-now approach to information.

Stopped a couple years ago, I occasionally pick up a sunday paper at the store.

 

[TLSnell1981]

I buy 10 Sunday papers each week from a street vendor. I have 2 cockatoos and use the paper to line their cages. Makes it easier to clean and monitor on a daily basis.

I never read them because it's yesterday's news.

Same Here! Our local paper is "in the bag' for one political party and their point of view. Just follow the money to where these self-serving rags get their operating cash.
