Posted by znufrii Jan 14 '09, 14:31

I just read online.

Responses:

Yes have a subscription and read pretty much everyday -- nm - JD Jan 14, 15:05
i subscribe to a delivered daily, these days mostly to support them, as they are a shadow of what they used to be. i get more news elsewhere. -- nm - b! Jan 14, 15:02
Only if there's one at someone's house or office. They will give me the LA Times for free, but I don't want to kill the trees when I can read it - jnine Jan 14, 14:55
Some days, particularly Sunday. -- nm - TaurusII Jan 14, 14:47
I get the local county paper weekly. I'll get the AJC if I'm going to sit down at a fast food place inside. -- nm - Qale Jan 14, 14:40
I pay for and read the National Post in paper format.....I do read a lot of the other newspapers online though - Walt_Disney Jan 14, 14:39
The NY Post when I am pissy. The Daily News when I am happy. nm - Jovian Jan 14, 14:36
I sub to the local paper, though lately its more like a newsletter, the front section midweek is six pages, that one full and one half sheet making 6 - zeitgeist Jan 14, 14:36 1
- I read the San Fran papers online, I'm sure I know about SF politics than i do about tacoma and my suburb - zeitgeist Jan 14, 14:38
We just ordered a subscription for the Saturday and Sunday editions. - kelly Jan 14, 14:36
Yes. My sub ends the 23rd and I won't be renewing. I would've cancelled last year, but I want a front page from the Inauguration. -- nm - TWuG Jan 14, 14:35 2
- couldn't you have saved yourself a year and just went out and picked one up the next day? -- nm - J Jan 14, 14:36 1
  - *nominates J to be in charge of stuff* -- nm - Loyola Jan 14, 14:38
I read all the free papers on campus every day (collegian, CDT, NYT) and the wsj when I'm in the commons. -- nm - martin luther king jr loves mandy lane Jan 14, 14:35 4
- "I read whatever's in front of me!" -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 14:38 3
  - I really do. joannie was joking the other day that I'm the only person in the world who doesn't mind waiting for like, physicians or whatever. - martin luther king jr loves mandy lane Jan 14, 14:39 2
    - aside from discomfort, usually i'm like this, too. i accidentally left my usual supplies behind for a monday appt, & there wasn't much there. oy. -nm - b! Jan 14, 15:05
    - That sounds like me, actually. Also, I'm a bit relieved I didn't make you mad - con_carne Jan 14, 14:41
I just subscribed to the Washington Post to get the inauguration editions, and the crosswords. -- nm - Max Jan 14, 14:33 1
- wapo is my favorite paper online. I like the inquirer in print. -- nm - martin luther king jr loves mandy lane Jan 14, 14:37
The LA Weekly is still pretty essential to me. I cannot stand their website. -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 14:33 3
- They got rid of all of their good writers. Or do you just look at the pictures? :P -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 14:54 2
  - I thought something was different. :) I read it for the stuff to do and consert listings -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 15:01 1
    - They just got rid of their regular music writer, but they do have the most club and concert listings. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:08
Sure. -- nm - Loyola Jan 14, 14:32
No -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 14:32
i get the sunday papers and occasionally buy the wall street journal...nm - x Jan 14, 14:32 2
- The only reason to get the Sunday paper in our neck of the woods are the ads and coupons. We get them from the in-laws after they're done. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 14:34 1
  - i still have a vague sentimental attachment to getting the actual sunday paper...nm - x Jan 14, 14:36

Every day. -- nm - psilotum Jan 14, 14:32
Sometimes. They have them at the Y for free. NYT and WSJ. -- nm - lileve Jan 14, 14:32 1
- And the local paper we get in the mail. -- nm - lileve Jan 14, 14:32
i get the Toronto Star on Saturdays. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 14:32
yes! - Callisto Jan 14, 14:31 1
- *nodding* -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 14:38
Unless you count the Economist (I don't, but it calls itself a newspaper) then no -- nm - Roger More Jan 14, 14:31 2
- It does? In that case, I do. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 14:35 1

Online only. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 14:31
