Newspapers

[Doon frae Troon]

When I moved back to Scotland it always seemed to amuse me that the Swindon [evening] Advertiser outsold the Glasgow Herald
I believe the P&J [NE Scotland based] is the second best daily selling newspaper in Scotland

For over 20 years the only time I have bought a national newspaper was when visiting the MIL on my own. Not bought one since she died.

I always bought The Telegraph on Saturday because it was good few days read.

I literally HATE what the advent and acceptance of digital technology has done to decimate print media.

It's propelled us into a cultural dark age,
and we can't even assume that the human species will survive long enough to see another renaissance.
The last dark age lasted a millennium, after all.

The internet could have been very useful and helpful indeed
if it wasn't used to plunge us all into a cultural abyss.

I have a couple of subscriptions, Times & Guardian, and used to get the Daily Express as a ‘hard copy.’ Got disillusioned with the Express’s direction so dropped it.

Picked up a ‘hard copy’ of the Daily Mail around the turn of the year. Gobsmacked it’s even still called a “newspaper.” It was unbelievably biased, and full of what can only be called blatant lies. Reminded me of the National Enquirer in the USA, a comic parody of news reporting.

Forgot to add the Middlesbrough Evening Gazette. I read the Boro news every day.

No it's been available in other places for a while

But it's been in London longer

It litterally is the daily mail with a different banner handed out for free

This is a total lie.

It's nothing like The Daily Mail. Granted it has the same owners but they're wise to understand London's demographic and you won't find any political bias in there. It's one of the best papers as it's free and simply gives unbiased news. Plus a load of adverts.

Bias is ok as long as it matches my bias.

Teas ever thus

Last time I was involved in buying a newspaper it was because it had fish and chips in it.

I’m a regular, though not daily, buyer of the i newspaper.

I’m a regular, though not daily, buyer of the i newspaper.

Same here. I have the discount vouchers which get you the paper and the digital version.
I do most of the online puzzles and then move to the paper puzzles.
Most of the news I heard the day before on TV or online so find I only browse the actual paper.

I buy a Times on a Saturday, mainly for the crossword, and just scan read the rest as I use the BBC website for my daily news and sport fix.

 

[Voyager EMH]

The Times.
Monday to Friday only.
Shoved through the letterbox each morning.
Supporting my local newsagent and young delivery person who gets a tip at Christmas.

I like the puzzles in the Times2 section. Keeps the brain active.

Every so often we'll get a few french newspapers (not that we can speak french but soggy golf shoes still need wadding to dry them out)

 

[HomerJSimpson]

If I do buy one it is usually the I or the Times for the sports coverage. Father in law still gets the Mail every day and we usually acquire the TV guide which is useful
