We have quit taking the local paper at our house, too.  It was starting to look like a toy.  I remember my daddy reading the newspaper every night when I was little and it was huge. That was before we had a TV!!!

Not usually.  I might read the USA Today once in a blue moon when I'm at a hotel for work.

Our local paper was sold to a city newspaper. Since then, the news focuses only on that area. Forget getting news locally. Forget local reporters. Most stories come from the Associated Press. I want to cancel now because they upped the price to $21.50 a month and the paper isn't more than 10 pages on Monday and the rest of the week it's about 12 pages. Those Sunday pages A,B,C,D sections have 4-5 pages each. Ridiculous.

Nah, we cancelled the paper several years ago. It got expensive for how little was actually in it. A few measly pages of mostly ads.

I don't buy a paper anymore.  I get online to our local newspaper and get the news that way.  Besides our news paper here just publish 3 or 4 times a week.

I don't read the newspaper. I get my news and stories from television or online. I may read the newspaper if it is in a waiting room or something though to pass time.
