Title: Newspaper
Post by: melodylogan45 on August 27, 2017, 10:10:54 am
Do you still receive the newspaper everyday or every weekend delivered to your home or do you read the paper online?

I read the news from four to five online sources. I am extremely frugal and try to minimize my footprint on the economy so spending money on something that adds to the world's pollution problem doesn't make sense-especially Sundays when more color is used in the print (even worse for the environment). Coupons were part of the attraction when I did buy newsprint but those can be found on line and many can be downloaded to your phone to avoid printing costs and further environmental waste. I prefer the rebate sites that provide cash for items that you purchase. I am annoyed at a group that leaves a crummy little newspaper on out driveway several times during the week for the reasons above as well as the perception that this is nothing more than an alert to intruders who can assume that we are not home when they see the newspaper lying out in front of the house.

I still get the weekend paper just because there are extras in it that I use.

I rarely read a newspaper any more.  I have vivid memories of my daddy reading the newspaper every night after work.  Today, you can get news reports from many different sources.  We watch it on TV, but I do read online reports as well.  The papers are so much smaller than they were back in the old days that they look like "playlike" papers to me.  As you age, nothing stays the same.

I stopped getting the newspaper delivered a few years ago when they stated to charge for the weekly TV Guide.

These days I don't really see the point of reading the news paper when all the information for one's current city and for the nation can all be found easily and for free on the internet.  In all honesty though, I don't trust any news source whether on TV, Internet or the newpapers.  But that is for another topic of discussion.

We get a small version of the paper that has mostly ads and coupons.  It has one or two articles.  It's free so I don't complain.

I don't buy newspaper anymore and just rely on online news now, it's so much easier on the eyes since I can make the text bigger.

We no longer have the newspaper delivered.  We purchase the Sunday edition.  We do have a local weekly paper in the mail.  Other than that, we get our news from the local TV station or online.

I receive a newspaper at home daily, including Sundays. I like reading it in the morning with my coffee.  I often find information about and coupons for restaurants and fun activities. I also like reading the comics and advice column, and doing the crossword puzzle and Jumble.

Stopped altogether.  We simply don't have the time to read it anymore, even on weekends.

We no longer get a printed newspaper.  What I miss the most from the daily paper is the crossword puzzle....sad, but true!

I still like getting things in print my newspapers, store ads, coupons, books and magazines.  With the newspaper I like all the different stuff in one place.  Plus you can take it on the go with you, use to without battery/power.

I stopped my paper to save money. You can get a wider variety of news online anyway.
