Not so much. My husband will buy a newspaper ever now and then and I may flip through it.

Just the sunday paper for cpns read some of it not much tv or online is so easy. Don't see how they're still in business. Also hate the mess it leaves on the couch.

I don't buy newspapers. Just about all new is on line now. Seems like a waste of money these days unless you don't have internet access.

I live in a very small town, and our newspaper is so high for what we get and only comes out once a week, so I but one if I want to see what an article is about that I am interested in, they have no coupons.  Or I will read it when I go out to my fathers, he gets one every week. But he rarely goes to town. We pick up most anything he needs and take it out. He is  now blind  in one eye and not  really comfortable driving, except when he goes to the doctor and he can take  a roundabout way  with little traffic. So it id good for him to have the newspaper.

I just recently started back reading magazines, it's pretty much the same ol same ol, too many ads and not enough of the rest when it comes to content, and ones with good reading content are hard to come by....so it seems at least.

I get the Washington Post, as I live in VA.  I don't think it's a waste of money because I prefer to have the headline and article right there than in the case of a website where I only get headlines then click on what I want and get stuck with a zillion pop up ads running along the side.  I will go look deeper into articles on line but to use it as my main source, no.  I get too frustrated with website navigation, not to want a paper.

I have a subscription to the paper for Sunday papers only, mainly this is for coupons only lol, But its cheaper for the subscription then to have to run down town 5 miles away and buy a paper

 Do not have to buy them. I'll pick up news papers from the free ones in town.
