I'm just wondering what kind of newspapers you read?

Here in the UK we have two types of newspapers, tabloids like the Sun and Express and not forgetting the Mail which are your average daily papers. And broadsheets like the Times and Independent which have more to read in the terms of news items and less gloss.

I myself read the Times and some times the Independent, I also from time to time read U.S.A Today and International Herold Tribune.

Most peeps around this part of the area seem to read the Sun. :damn:


Myself? The Times and Guardian, with occasional smatterings of Telegraph.

Either Guardian or Independent. From non-english speaking ones it's Le Monde, Libération and TA NEA.

I know it makes me sound very uneducated but I don't like to read any at all. I prefer to get my information from the web and other sources.

I used to subscribe to a Denver newspaper, The Rocky Mountain News. I liked the tabloid format (read like a book instead of having to fold over to make the paper managable). About seven years ago the RMN and the Post combined into the Denver News agency or some such thing. The upshot was my turning away from both papers. I'm sceptical that one agency can deliver the news from both sides of an issue without a bias being introduced.

I currently subscribe to nor read either paper except for the odd entertainment section at the local breakfast establishment.

I get all my news from the internet, and yes many sources.

Newspapers continual to have there use after you read all of them. Lighting the fire and a nice paper hat and if you run out of loo paper. ;)

One thing I have noticed about UK papers are all the extra you now get news, fashion, entertainment magazines and a heap full of leaflets which are most often pizza ones.

I dread reading a paper once I'm married and having a jewelry brochure fall out

"I see Iran has succumbed to our demands."
"Rich?"
"Hmm?"
"Look at this ring!"
"Is wha?"
"Only $700!"
"Only?! I could buy a middle eastern state for that!"

:rotfl:

I read (Here in Orlando) the Orlando Sentinel. And as for using them as "loo" paper, I'll prefer tissues thank you.

Guardian for me, when I've time to read it. Otherwise I use the BBC website.

Oh and of course this forum as well,I've picked up a lot from in here.

The Sydney Morning Herald for it's content, The Australian for balance against the SMH and the Dailytelegraph on the train as I get a free copy due to people leaving it behind when they get off.:up:

I also get the free MX, but that isn't a paper, it 's a printed advert with some writing to make it seem useful:smug:

When I buy neswpapers, my main choices are:
La Repubblica or Il Corriere della Sera (italian), Le Monde (french), New York Times (english).

Most of time, however, I simply pick up the first free one available in underground station near home.
When I have plenty of time for reading, I always prefer books.

I read the Chicago Tribune on a daily basis. In Chicago there are two main papers, the Tribune and the Sun-Times, and the people that read them are very different. The Tribune is traditionally conservative and generally read by the businesspersons of Chicago, while the Sun-Times is a liberal paper read mostly by blue collar workers. It's kind of bizarre but you can tell alot about a person by which paper he/she reads, unless of course it happens to be me, as I am neither conservative nor a businessperson, I just think the Trib is better!:doh:

Main area of interests for me is politics and news abroad followed by home news unless the news here gets interesting.
