Have you stopped buying papers?

I read the El Pais Spanish Newspaper over my café every morning ..

I sometimes shall purchase Vogue or Elle Magazine and I read Hola at my hairdresser´s ..

I haven’t bought a newspaper for years.
I am shocked by how biased and prejudiced some of the online papers are. If you only read one, either in print or online, you get a very one-sided view of the news.

Never bought papers anyway so no change there! 🤣

No have bought haven’t bought a paper in a long time.
Friend gives me her Guardian papers for the cat litter tray. Just the perfect size.

I subscribe to INews online. But I like the weekend so I have a hard copy delivered by a reliable paper girl.

I only buy one paper which is Saturday Mail ... for the tv guide ...

I have an annual subscription to a broadsheet. I fetch it every morning. I enjoy the physical sensation of reading a paper - I also read it only, part of the sub.
Yes it is expensive but it’s my only treat. I don’t go on holiday, my diet is very modest as is my wardrobe .

The cost of the DM has risen substantially and we now only buy a copy occasionally.
It’s getting ridiculous.
I also subscribe to the Guardian online but do enjoy a paper version of all newspapers.

Used to love my newspaper, but have'nt bought one for years.

I also use PressReader for reading newspapers and magazines.

There is so much advertising in the papers, and PressReader is a great resource.

We usually look at the news online, unless we’re out and will occasionally pick up The Guardian or the I which used to have an independent political viewpoint. The other papers are too biased politically.

We buy one. My DH has some sort of subscription which allows him to buy it at a reduced rate.

We used to have a subscription which was much less expensive than paying daily, but when looked at taking one out again it cost more or less the same. Now we just get a paper when it's convenient to pick one up, my husband watches the news online or listens to the radio. I do miss the puzzles, though I've taken out a cheap subscription for just the puzzles they're not the same as the ones in the daily paper.

*That’s Sunday for the Observer I don’t know why I typed Friday!

I have the Guardian delivered on a Saturday and the Observer on a Friday, Private Eye is delivered every two weeks and I subscribe to the Guardian online for my daily news fix. I also use Press Reader on my iPad which is absolutely fantastic - any paper or magazine from the UK all around the world and best of all free with a library membership. I do like a printed copy at weekends though.

If you are in the Uk and belong to a library, you can have newspapers and magazines free on your iPad . Just needs your Library number and a password- which the library will give you. Happy reading😊

I buy one on a Saturday as it has the weeks TV in it.

I never buy the local weekly paper as for 30 years I've lived in this area it reports on local events after they've taken place!

And very, very rarely does it print info of the aforementioned events beforehand so we can go! We see lovely photos of locals enjoying things we have had no knowledge of, afterwards - it's so frustrating!

I know they don't [despite complaints] as I buy a paper now and then to check.

Only on a Saturday for the week's TV guide, mind you, shouldn't have bothered this week as it's mainly football !

I quite like a Sunday newspaper with free magazine but it would be DH who bought it as I never would.
You can read all the news you like online these days.

The problem with just getting the news from the television is that it is quite often biased. For a more broad spectrum of news I use Press Reader which allows me to read a variety of opinions across both left and right political views.

I read the papers on my free borrowbox account with the local library

We still have The Times and the Sunday Times delivered. Dh took out a subscription for both some years ago.

We have had an online Times subscription for many years. However, the tech behind it is woeful as it is forever crashing, loading the wrong comments for articles etc, etc. DH took out a Telegraph subscription last year so now we have two. 🤷‍♀️

We have red the Times online for years and never had a problem with it . Online reading means you get to read your UK news wherever you are .

I buy the Guardian on Saturday and read it through the weekend. I prefer print to digital and like the articles which give me some analysis of events .
My children never buy a newspaper. All of them rely on Radio Four for news, including the one who lives abroad.

Yes. It's much more cost-effective to have a subscription to the digital Guardian.

The traditional paper newspaper is pretty much out-of-date as soon as it's printed because news events move so fast.

Besides, it galls me to see guys at the newspaper stand in Sainsbury leafing through the papers and then putting a well-thumbed copy back on the pile. You wouldn't open a packet of biscuits, eat a couple and then put the remains of the packet back on the supermarket shelf - without paying!
