What is your favorite newspaper and why?

Question

I live in the Twin Cities in Minnesota. I used to read the St Paul Pioneer Press, but they recently ran some articles that I didn't like, so I switched.

I now read USA Today weekdays, and the Pioneer Press only on weekends. I'm a newspaper junkie, I can't stand reading the news online. I like having a real newspaper in my hands, the smell of the ink, and the crisp paper just begging us to read it.

(The Pioneer Press ink smells better than the Minneapolis Star Tribune or USA Today btw. Yes, I am a newspaper sniffer, lol.)

I got to thinking, there are tons of other newspapers out there.

What is your favorite newspaper and why? This question is for people who can't go without the newspaper like me. Please incorporate these in your answer...

What is your favorite section?

What annoys you about your favorite newspaper?

Is there another newspaper in your town, and why not that one?

Do you think your newspaper is "thick" enough, or too "thick"?

Or anything else, elaborate...

Answer 1

I enjoy my hometown newspaper, the Hamilton Spectator.

It is fairly comprehensive in its news coverage, and covers the entire news spectrum.

I do not enjoy some of their editorial comments, or cartoons which at times are cheap shots, and unbecoming of a family newspaper.
