Anybody still read the Newspaper?

[Parallel Guy]

Enjoy hiding in my office at lunch with the daily paper. It allows me to avoid talking to others - which I do enough the rest of the day. Plus it's too difficult to read the comics on line.

On Thursdays, because this is when the garage/estate sales are listed, ... and sometimes on Sundays.
The news in general is kinda depressing so I don't bother with most of that.

Nothing beats old news papers, either from home delivery or news stands, I pick two when I can (M-F), the San Francisco Chron, Sacramento Bee for obituaries, business section, breeze through sports scores, check online feeds from NY Times, L.A. Times/Post, I watch Chris Matthews, Tim Russert time to time. And when I can "CBS Sunday Morning" I truly miss the old timers from all news medias.

Been a subscriber to the Long Beach paper since the 1970s.....

Always read a newspaper.

Currently read the Daily Telegraph and The Guardian (in the UK). I read the two of them to try and get a balanced perspective of some of the news stories (the Journo in me![huh] ) that interest me.

I also listen to the wireless quite a bit (mainly Classic FM, which plays classical music-suprise! and BBC Radio 4 for the ongoing news and discussions - which I can listen to and work at the same time).

i think i would get too distracted by "news radio." i'd try to listen to the discussion carefully and not be able to concentrate...

Well Sorta!

I read the paper at work, during lunch when some one brings it in to share. But I don't get the paper much anymore. I used to buy the Sunday LA times mostly for their version of the TV Guide, then I found they don't put it in the Sunday paper anymore. Saturday then was supposed to have it but it did not, so I gave up. I will skim the headlines and read what was interesting to me, and go thru the sales ads. In the Times on Thursday is the Food section where i'd often read the wine articles, glance at the restaurant info then peruse the recipies.

I listen to news radio most mornings and catch some TV news now and again but listen to Talk radio for a little while on the way home from work to see what are the hot topics du jour.

I read THE ONION every week: it's more astute than most other newspapers and magazines. Speaking of mags, I've read THE ECONOMIST cover-to-cover every week for a decade. Can't be happy without it.

I getthe San Francisco Chronicle every day and the NYT M-F. I scan the articles and read what interests me, usually on the train ride to work, but mostly I'm a crossword junkie.

To be honest, not since I left the business, except the funny pages and the "Tech-Geeks R Us" ads. And even those only once in a while. Occasionally a WSJ.
