With computers, tablets, smart phones etc. I was wondering if anyone still bought a newspaper and read it?

Discuss......
 
Our local paper has started charging people to view it online. Which is just silly considering 80% of it is reprints from the AP...

Yep, although I no longer subscribe to the local newspaper I still by a copy 1-3 times a week at the local convience store.. I like to read it during commercials when i watch TV.. Yep, the content has diminsihed greatly over the past few years.
Still, it's an old habit.
I like the read the letters to the Editor section.. and our two local dailys still have syndicated columnists like Rich Lowry, Thomas Friedman, Paul Krugman (who I disagree with 100)), and others.. I like getting views from around the board.

Plus I still like the comics.. haha..
 
I by "buy" you mean steal from the neighbours, then yes.
 
We have free tabloids here that survive on advertisements. Nearly every commuter reads them in public transport and leaves them there. I guess it would be more eco-friendly if everybody switched to online newspapers, but somehow the use of iPads and mobile phones for that isn't popular.
 
I get all my news online now. I cant imagine reading a paper now.
 
What's the point in buying a .75-cents Newspaper these days? If I wanna know if the Sheriff bought a new Vehicle I'll ask my Neighbor or the Gas Station Clerk.....As High as Gas is I need to be Fucking the Gas Station Clerk so he can give me some Free gas or a Credit for $5 dollars off a Car wash...


I'm Blessed & VERY Thankful to have long-term employment but my only thrill about a "Sunday's Paper" is the New Coupons for Pizza Hut & Papa John's....
 
I read 4 different newspapers each week day (1 local,the 2 Boston dailys and USA Today) and the 2 Boston papers on Sunday. I get 99 % of my news from the papers and hardly ever watch television news programs.
 
But not because I have an iPad - more so because my work gets daily papers and I read that. On the weekends, I'm too lazy.
 
I used to buy the Toronto Sun whenever there was a Sunshine Boy I wanted to add to my scrapbook collection, but I haven't bought one in many, many years.
 
What's this "newspaper" thing everyone keeps referring to...???
 
I buy the SUnday paper. Other than that,I simply read the news online.
 
Nope. I get all the news I can handle online and on the TV.
 
Most of them are a waste of paper anyway. So, no I haven't in a long time. There's plenty of info on the web.
 
I subscribe to 2 newspapers - LATimes and the local SanDiego paper. Have done so all the time I have lived here. But I do find less and less time to read them as I spend more time on the net. I spend easily an hour a day on just JUB and I get my national news from FoxNews site and the Drudge report. I keep up with local stuff with the local paper and net site
 
My first career was in journalism. Started as a paperboy when I was 11 and ended up managing editor of a paper in Colorado and later one in Michigan (before I realized newspapers were dying and I would soon starve if I stayed in newspaper business!)

I still love the feel and smell of a newspaper; weird. On some Sundays I will walk to "First Cup" which is a little coffee shop a couple blocks from our house and a block from the church I often attend. I like to sit and watch people (and have met a number of folks in the neighborhood as a result). I'll often buy the Washington Post and read it while sitting outside on a nice day.

But I travel and we are on the go a lot so most of my newspaper reading is confined to the internet or the free copy of USA Today on my door at the Hilton.
