I read the paper at lunch when by myself, but the majority of the national and world news is old by then. I catch the latest news on the web in the A.M. and rarely see TV news.

How do you get your news?

[JonoMarshall]

Various websites, feeds, etc. However, nothing beats a sit down at the weekend with your broadsheet of choice!

[Goldfinger]

I get my news from my newspaper's website. I cancelled the newspaper subscription. Saves €299 a year and lots of paper.

[Dakarʒ]

I never found newspapers relevant. Dominated by local news, uninteresting or incomplete sports scores, and local scores. I got a kick out if it when I went to work at a newspaper and they asked if I was familiar with their work. Uh, not really. Unless you mean the comics section.

Yeah, how stereotypical am I.

[Mastrap]

I read the Globe and Mail, but not as often as I'd like.

[shabbasuraj]

I do not know how to read.

[JonoMarshall]

But you can type? You've got some seriously intuitive guess work going on there...

He's just hitting keys at random. He lucked out that time.

[larrinski]

I use Vienna as my News reader. I haven't had a paper delivery to my house in years. I stopped reading them about 5 years ago.

[OldManMac]

I stopped having a paper delivered at least ten years ago. I get all my news from the web.

[Chuckit]

For national news, they're useless nowadays. For local news, they're indispensable. They're also generally better at depth pieces than other media.

What the hell kind of paper charges €299 a year for a subscription? That's insane.

I've never had a paper subscription for myself, and don't plan on getting one. I prefer my news to be instant, my pictures to be high quality (or at least where faces are discernible), and my space to be saved.

Even my parents haven't had a subscription to the paper in years, and my dad used to be a huge newspaper fan. When he'd get home in the evenings, he'd plop down in his chair with the paper. These days, he plops down at his Mac mini, says, "Oh, nothing new on Drudge since I left work," and plays with his grandchildren.

It's a different world now.

We just upgraded our newspaper subscription -- we used to get it only on weekends, but now w get it daily.
But we only got the weekend subscription for the coupons in the Sunday paper, and we only upgraded to get the crossword puzzles every day. For actual news, the newspaper is irrelevant.

My other problem with papers is the waste. Printing is a very polutive and resource intensive proccess. If I read a paper, I try to leave it where someone else hopefully will pick it up.

Web delivery of information is so much better for the environment.

Now, if only the reloadable book would be perfected! I would love to have a light weight, very readable tablet that I could take the the bathroom, or out on the lawn, and be able to read my local paper when out of town and then load the National Geographic, or Stephen King into the same device.

Someday.

All newspapers around here are €250-300 a year. That gives you a paper that's delivered at your door every day and an extra large weekend edition with all sorts of extras plus unlimited access to the newspaper's online website + archive.

This is not some local newspaper this is a national newspaper.

De Standaard Online <-- this paper, if you know how to read Dutch

Their website is great. With constant updates and RSS.

[imitchellg5]

My school gets about 100 every day and they just sit in the Commons. Nobody ever reads them.

[MacosNerd]

I take the subway to work and you see the majority of people still reading the paper. Personally I don't since I read it online.

[Peter]

I read the independent, but I'd settle for a digital version in my inbox every day - I'd happily read off my tablet.

[Railroader]

I just started subscribing for various reasons.

[Kevin]

Every Day.

Then again the publishing company I work for owns a few.

[SpaceMonkey]

I stockpile them in case I need kindling and/or toilet paper in the End Times.
