I quit getting the paper, when it got to where the writing and reporting was awful! I don't think they have more than 3 or 4 people actually writing for them. It seems like a majority of the articles are right from AP and not really very good. Certainly not worth wading thru all the tripe to get to.

I like and buy a newspaper each weekend, a different paper on Saturday to the one I buy on Sunday. I buy it from the supermarket, or the petrol station, depending on if I need something from the supermarket. The petrol station is within walking distance.
I prefer to buy a 'quality' newspaper, by that, I mean that I can rely on the veracity of the reports /articles /opinions /editorials. I absolutely hate the tabloids / gossip /celebrity driven papers.
I will read various sections of the papers through the week, and then it will go to recycle.

Love my paper newspaper. It arrives every Wed. and Friday always on schedule. I sit down right after lunch on those days and read it front to back. Often save articles and pictures to pass on of family or friends. Sure I could go online, but I love holding it. Besides I use it for kindling, insulation, gardening, drop sheets, to name a few uses after reading. Also have a son who wants me to save several for when he starts up his wood furnace in the fall.

we stopped getting the paper and tv guide. we realized we could save enough money in 2 years to go on a cruise. we watch tv for that info now. it's free, and we get a cruise out of it.

Our small local paper is free and comes in the mail. Yes, we get the paper, no funnies or puzzles. I use it for the bottom of my bird's cage.

I still get the paper, though I have considered stopping it. It's still the best source of what's going on locally and coupons. Do the coupons pay for the paper? I doubt it, but I think I'd be surprised if I tracked it. Ours comes in the mail which means there is no Sunday or holiday paper, but you get used to it. My brain prefers to read from a hand held book or paper.

We still get the new paper...DH get up at 4am and goes outside to get the paper. I get up at 6am, get a cup of coffee, my devotional and the news paper. In the summer we sit outside on the deck with the paper and in the winter at the table.. We especially like the comics "Pickles " because it is so like us and give us a good laugh. We mostly already know the "news" by the time we get the paper but my husband wants to know the time that the baseball games come on. He does not do computers.

we get our local county paper (weekly) and the daily KC Star--which has shrunk to almost nothing and price has skyrocketed--but we like the actual paper for same reasons you gave.

I get two newspapers. We have a local newspaper that is free and comes in the mail on Thursday. It covers the events in our three city area. We also get the East Bay newspaper that covers bay area and national news. I find the writing in the newspapers as good if not better than the news on the computer and often it contains more details. The bay area newspaper is expensive (over $200.00 a year) but I enjoy reading it and think it's worth it.

I still get the newspaper, 7 days a week. Don't allways agree with some of it, but would miss it if I didn't have it. And for me, it's so much easier to read than the tube, plus I like having the physical feel of it in my hands. Same reason why I'm pretty sure I'll never go to e-books.
