How many people buy newspapers or do you read them online? I find it easier to read online instead of paying for something that I'm going to throw away  the next day.

I, too, agree that online or television is so much better.  I also feel that either of those  two are more likely to be more up-to-the minute.

I hardly ever buy a newspaper anymore. Occassionally I will purchase a Sunday paper for the coupons.   :)  I agree with you in that it is easier to read them online.  I like that I can easily find the stores that are of interest to me instead of having to try and look through an entire paper.  My hands do not get all dirty either.   ;D

Yes!  My husband only brings the inserts home on Sunday mornings (he gets a free paper but we only want the coupons!).

newspapers are much easier to read online. However,I do get the Sunday paper for the coupons. Also some of the store circulars are easier to read in print. :wave: :peace:

I bought a year's subscription to our local paper online.  I think it is cheaper, but sometimes I find it harder to read.  However, it does save having to throw a paper away.

I rather read the news online than on paper.  The main reason is that the sections I sometimes like to read are buried and I have to keep pulling out sections to find the sections I like.
Besides, I prefer to go green when I can and save a tree.

I never really ever read the newspaper.  Didn't interest me in the least.  Only thing I ever liked were the comic strips.

I did buy a Sunday only short subscription last fall, but that was mainly to support a local kid's school fund-raising drive; and I figured I could use the newspapers for my gardening and composting activities.
