Question

Has anyone stopped buying newspapers since they have been available to read online?

Answer 1

Nope, there's nothing better than sitting on the kitchen floor with a newspaper and a bowl of cereal in the morning - its just not the same on the computer.

Answer 2

I stopped buying them long time ago when I had to start collecting them for the recycle bin.  I didn't want another bin to take out to the garbage.

Answer 3

I still prefer an ordinary newspaper to read. So, have them delivered. Read some of the others online though.

Answer 4

Yes.  I have stopped buying my 'Local rag' since I have been able to read it online.

It saves me £23.40 a year.

Answer 5

i quit my home town paper they wouldn't send it to me because i lived out of state. i live in kc.ks. and my brother lives in kc,mo about 6 miles from me and they still send it to him. it still cost the same amount to send it to him. life is so good.i really enjoyed it to.

Answer 6

Yes.

I had the local paper come round trying to sell their paper and be delivered to me.

I said why should I pay when its free online?

No reply.

Answer 7

read them on-line monday-friday and buy one at weekends.

Answer 8

Yes I stopped buying our local paper trying to cut back. It saved me $13 a month and I read it on line. I'm not trying to be cheap, I'm just poor.

Answer 9

No. I like to read newspapers. In bed

Answer 10

I have to read them on line as its impossible to buy English daily papers where I live but its not quite the same as the real thing. On line papers only give you a small portion from the whole paper.

Answer 11

yeah. i used to buy one every morning. not any more though.

Answer 12

No, I still get my daily paper because I like to read it over the course of the day (or week), and there's just something satisfying about reading the real paper - to go straight to the sections I want. Plus, I have to sit in front of a computer to work, so it's nice to NOT have to read the newspaper online.

However, I do read many other newspapers online - mainly the news, editorial and occasionally the arts sections - in out-of-town papers, the London Times, BBC News, etc. - amazing what a breadth of news we can now receive! BBC News has a daily feature - The Day in Pictures - that is just terrific. Fabulous shots taken all over the world.
