I used to buy 3 newspapers a day and read them. Now I buy 3 a year?

Question

I do not know why people even read the paper anymore since you can get everything online for free. And if I were to sell something, you can list on craigs list or others for free. Is the newspaper going to become obsolete soon? I still read as much but do not need to lug that dirty paper around.

Answer 1

well idk .  but i do like reading the newspaper especially the comics.

Answer 2

okay first of all, who reads 3 newspapers a day? besides prisoners who have nothing better to do? yes the newspaper is obsolete, but not because people want to look at the news online, its because nobody wants to read the news period, because its too d**n depressing. lol.

Answer 3

Three a year? That's three more than I buy.

Answer 4

I still like having a news source physically in front of me like a newspaper, although it is often filled with items I've seen two or three days earlier on the Internet.

But at the same time, newspapers are putting more and more of their content on the Internet and dropping it out of the actual newspaper.

I do not like this as then instead of being able to open the paper to my favorite sections or columnists, I'm forced to go look for it on the newspaper's web site. When I'm in a rush to go to work in the morning, I don't have time to do this.

Newspapers are more convenient for people on the go, so for that reason I don't think they will become obsolete.
