The glory days for newspapers have passed. Readership is way down, especially among younger people. But the printed editions of many newspapers are still being published, and there are still many loyal readers who read them.
How about you? Do you read a daily newspaper every day — maybe even get it delivered to your front door? Or are you an infrequent reader, perhaps just buying a copy when you pass by a newsstand and see a front headline that you just can’t ignore?
Please let us know. And remember, if you’re on a slow internet connection it can take a few moments for the poll to load. So stand by.
I do read The Philadelphia Inquire daily, but it is the digital edition as we are full time on yhe road.
I miss reading the newspaper, but because I can’t get it delivered on the day it comes out anymore I don’t read them often anymore. I do like to pick them up in small towns, it’s a good way to get the flavor of the town. I don’t watch tv, so now I get my news off the internet. The good thing about that is being able to read the same news from several sources. The bad thing is too many slants about the same information, and too many opinions. I just want the facts, I can make my own opinion.
Daily paper ceased many years ago. Now is only 3 editions weekly. Edited out of State and printed out of area.
Pick up Sunday edition for comics and ads.
Use to subscribe, but the cost cutting they did destroyed the local paper so I cut and ran.
Unfortunately my paper is only published 3x weekly. I do enjoy the paper with my morning coffee and my dog beside me. A peaceful start to my day. But one more price increase and I’m done. I’ll start reading Readers Digest with my coffee and hound dog!
I used to love reading the Globe & Mail published in Toronto. Now at $4 plus tax for a paper, it just isn’t worth it. Sad, but printed newspapers are certainly on the way out.
I don’t but the DW does, so I picked her answer. Print newspapers (and real journalists) are a dying breed, but in a world WITHOUT them.. well what will i use as firestarter in my charcoal chimney?
Our local daily paper comes out Wednesday through Sunday (electronic is 7 days a week). When at home we read the physical newspaper when it comes out, Monday and Tuesday electronically. When travelling, we read electronic paper daily – if we remember!
Ever since I was in the 5th grade I read the paper every day without fail, I was taught by my teacher it was important to keep up on what is going on in the community and the world. In my 40s I began seeing less quality in reporting and more politicizing of events especially during campaign season when twisted facts and lies became the norm. As the internet became more useful in fact finding and being laid up recovering from cancer I had the time to fact check what was being printed. It was at this time that I gave up on newspapers and cable news seeing that their political agenda became more important than facts. Even with the vast sources of the internet there is so much censorship it is very hard to dig up the truth you can only find it if you work hard to find it.
every day for the last 60+ years.
I read the limited digital (free) versions of two daily papers & I read the print version of our local weekly free newspaper.
Neither condition answers the question so I chose occasional
I read the digital version of the print paper every day. The newsprint paper no longer read.
I read the print edition of my local paper, but it is online. Every ad is there so I can see what’s on sale locally.
Paper additions….
Local and WSJ every day..
Stopped reading the local printed newspaper because it has become nothing but a LIBERAL rag. Never read newspapers on- line either.
Our local paper became so biased it isn’t worth reading. When traveling, the web became much easier to glean info from various local/national/international sources
I read a delivered newspaper every day except when traveling. I spend time on the various puzzles.
Can get all the news on line. Just an added expense and anymore for the last 8 years it’s nothing short of depressing, miss leading and opinionated and television isn’t any better.
I go through print version of our very expensive local daily and read a national and former home paper daily. I get more than one point of view on issues and the comics help start the day with a smile. Not reading is not learning and to rely on a single preferred source is dangerous. Besides all that only the local gets me grocery savings on Wednesday!
I stopped getting the local news paper long ago. The price kept going up and the size and content kept going down. I can get a far wider sample of what is going on locally, nationally, and world wide by going on the internet. I can even see more comic strips online than I got on hardcopy.
I get the Epoch Times every Friday and I love it!
Epoch Times has not yet conceded that Biden won the election….
I get my daily news headline stories online from 3-6 long-established hard news sources – not social media. And, they represent all sides politically so I learn a bit about what everybody is saying. Still watch national and local TV news in the evening, a lifelong habit.
I read digital news, Google News. Washington Post, CNN among others daily. My husband reads print copies of local paper and USA Today primarily for the crossword puzzles.
I would read the Daily paper if it were available. I had a subscription for years and years. I live in a rural area and they stopped home delivery 2 years ago due to gas prices and a shortage of delivery drivers.
I subscribe to an online version of my local newspaper. The printed version got so expensive and delivery was terrible. Now I have local news, national news and USA Today in one app for only $10 per month.
I subscribed to local newspapers most of my life while I was still working. Since retiring I probably haven’t read a newspaper front to back in 23 years.
I used to love reading the daily paper. But my local paper drove me away with three actions. First, delivery became more and more sporadic and I had to call almost weekly to request missing papers when the carrier didn’t show up. Second, the same time delivery was going to he**, the price more than doubled. And it became almost impossible to phone them without spending an inordinate amount of time on hold. I miss the local news, not much of it on the internet, but this is not a problem I can fix.
I don’t but the wife gets the Sunday paper and reads all of it then does the cross words
Dropped our local paper because delivery was horribly inconsistent, downright spotty at times. Constant calling did nothing so buh-bye.
