What newspapers, if any, do you buy?

Here's why I won't buy the Philadelphia Inquirer:

No more subscription before, and now I won't buy it in the stores. I just get the local Norristown paper - The Times Herald - and read any important Inquirer stories at philly.com. The justifications for hiring Yoo are silly - all they are doing is pandering to the vocal minority. And a war criminal is the best choice? Also, the paper was never liberal - the editorials and regular columnists are centrist at best, very right wing at worst.

So I read one newspaper - The Times Herald.

I don't read it. My husband does.

I would buy the NY Times, but it is $5.00 here.

:)

I know it is in red state Idaho, but it isn't good to generalize.

It seems from my Inquirer experience that liberal viewpoints get shut out too much, even in city papers. I have seen some left-wing views there, but not by regular columnists.

If I didn't have free access to the papers, I would subscribe to my city's daily and the New York Times weekend edition.

i get them delivered, i don't watch any cable news at all so i see the local news on tv and i read my newspapers.

Cable Opinion shows suck and life is way better without them.

reasonably good paper. Fairly conservative, but independent, and they make some interesting election endorsements once in a while.

And I just like reading the paper, and there isn't another serious newspaper here. I read the BBC Headlines and NY Times online, but that's just not the same

It's not the paper it used to be; but it beats the hell out of the Washington Times.

local weekly on Thursdays. Sometimes some other stuff, like the Financial Times when I need more to read.

Quit nyt + wapo years ago. No need w. internet, and no interest in paying them for their dramatically deteriorated reporting.

hammering on the right-wingers. Funny how they hate free-speech :D

Daily home delivery of the Hartford Courant.
Sunday home delivery of the New York Times (on-line perusal the rest of the week).
Office delivery of the New Haven Register (paid for by the employer).

The Courant and the Register really aren't worth looking at anymore. I'm considering cancelling the Courant in protest - Chicago Trib (the out-of-state owner) has decimated the newsroom, most recently firing the editors and merging publisher/editor functions with their Fox TV station management. The friggin' general manager of the TV station and now publisher of the paper was on a local radio station proclaiming how the merging of the two news media will strengthen their capacity to promote the agenda of the state's corporate community. Excuse me... isn't their role to provide unbiased reporting, if not investigative reporting, of that corporate agenda. But I'm 57 years old and I've ALWAYS had home delivery - it's not an easy decision.

otherwise known as The Snapper Wrapper.

Also the New York Times.

just another repube mouthpiece. Used to get the Albq. Tribune on occasion before it went under last year.It carried some good syndicated columnists etc; even Molly Ivins...I do pick up the free "alternative " paper, the weekly Alibi.I also get the NY Times on-line because its free and because one of my best friends when I was an undergrad, and his wife are both reporters for the Times. ( Barry Bearak and Celia Dugger; they jointly won a George Polk award this year, and Barry won a Pulitzer 6 or 7 years ago for his reports from Afghanistan; he's also the Times reporter briefly jailed by the Mugabe regime last year). Barry is an incredible writer and reporter, and I'd look forward to his unique perspectives whether I knew him or not . I also enjoy reading the always intelligent commentaries by Frank Rich and Bob Herbert.

I'd much rather get the Palm Beach Post or Miami Herald, which unlike the Sun-Sentinel actually understand the concept of the front page and its use for--gasp--notable national and world news stories. As opposed to some giant infographic that takes up half the page and one fluff story that has nothing to do with actual newsworthy events.

Problem is my in-laws have gotten a years subscription for me over the past few Christmases so I haven't been able to switch. I've tried to drop hints but I don't think they've gotten them.

It only comes 3 days a week now though.

But I buy all of them, all the ones that have been in front of me all these years.

:hi:

The Detroit Free Press and the Ann Arbor News. However the Free Press has gone online except for Thursday, Friday, and Sunday and the News is shutting down entirely in July; a new online service Ann Arbor.com will replace it.

I am going to miss getting a daily newspaper a lot.

otherwise I read the rest online.
