Does anyone still even read papers in the morning?

Maybe I’m crazy but having a paper in my hand early in the morning after my run while having a coffee before I head to the office is still a joy for me. Maybe I’m old.

I get & read WSJ paper. Make coffee & walk out to get it. Also, Cincy Enquirer digital. It's terrible. Total lib propaganda. Used to be good/decent till say 20 tears ago. Take an hr+ to go thru them.

Similar. Read the LHL and WSJ, both digital. Do not read either cover to cover, but usually the news (local, national and world) in the LHL, and the opinions in the WSJ, plus at least some of the business section in the WSJ, esp "Heard on the Street".

Strangely, I skip a lot of the sports in LHL, not much of a basketball fan, and couldn't care less about HS sports.

By the way, in about ten years or less, kids will ask us why do you call looking at your tablet "Reading the Newspaper"?

Same as they now ask me why some of my golf clubs are called "Woods"?

I’m really amazed that residential newspaper delivery hasn’t gone extinct by now.

If the delivery weren't so erratic, my wife would still get the home edition, but yeah, it's literally yesterday's news. She just liked having it in her hands to read, but she's gotten used to the digital now. Both the St Lucie Tribune and Miami Herald have excellent high school football coverage, as well as great Fins and Heat coverage.

USA TODAY is the only one last year or so. I really try to stay current without watching the network news. We all know this place is better then any paper you can read and all the information we have from around the world Catfans is a hidden gem

the ads always intrigued me (in the back of comic books) but I never sold it.

Not even sure what it actually WAS. Was it an actual NEWS paper?

I wonder how many "sales" were made, just to get the neighbor kid to "go away" LOL

I'm almost sure that's why people bought it.

We would take his little red wagon and go around our small town. It had generic news that was sort of positive.

I do remember nobody was really happy to see us.

90-year old Dad still reads the Courier-Journal. Works for me because I need paper to heat the chimney flue in the cold months. If I had a bird I'd line the bottom of the cage with it.

After covid, I am making a conscious effort to be as ignorant of the "news" as possible. That said, I'm a sucker for a good NY Post headline. They are the best.

Do they still print newspapers? I find the Herald Leader online unreadable with all the pop-ups, etc. Reading on a device of some sort just doesn't have the same magnitude as the daily newspaper, imo. The fact that it has become accepted that the digital versions of stories can be electronically altered bothers me. With printed papers, you had the sense that this was TODAY'S NEWS. Now the story is just whatever the editor (who may not even be human) decided would get the most clicks.

Does the Herald have a single employee in Lexington? Serious questions.

Used to listen to WSJ radio. No bs, just the news. Didn't find it slanted and I didn't miss the drama that came with cable news and the like.

Online only. As far as subscriptions, I get the local paper here in FW.

For national, I still have a subscription to Washington Post, while knowing it is owned by an oligarch. So are Fox and WSJ. The Post is good at in depth coverage of things going on in Washington. If you want center-right opinion, they have George Will. They have far right covered with Mark Theissen as well. But I mostly stick with the factual articles, and less on opinion.

I like their sports section with former LHL columnist Chuck Culpepper, Sally Jenkins and a couple of others. Culpepper wrote a fantastic article on Georgia Amoore and Kenny Brooks, hope the link works.
