Ok-so who all out there reads a paper, every day?? I just read 2 of our local ones, and of course they both can be read in less than 3 minutes,lol.

And to those who read them-what part do you go to first?? Typically I scan the birth/death area and then to classifieds and see if theres any animals lost/found, and of course ones for sale, and free.

So fess up-anyone else??

Our local paper comes out twice a week, in the Thursday edition I always see who has been arrested first.

I read it if it gets delivered to the building- otherwise I dont' have a subscription and I don't pick it up either- but I DO read it online!

Movin' on up!
I read the afternoon paper, every day. We only get the morning paper, on Sunday and I read it, too. I read from front to back, skipping only the sports page.

We can only afford the Sunday paper delivered right now. I start with the comics, then the Parade supplement, then the TV schedule, then I start with the front page (Section A) and work my way through alphabetically. (Except Sports and Classifieds.)

Then it's the ads to see who has what and if I can afford it.

I read the front section of the NYTimes online each day, and the Metro and Tempo sections of the Chicago Tribune (for being a major metropolitan Newspaper, the Trib leaves a lot to be desired). And then I read Dear Abby and Dear Amy and Mutts, Get Fuzzy and the horoscopes.

When I'm bored/stuck somewhere I'll read the RedEye. And I do the crossword, even though it's an insult to my intelligence. Shhhhhhh...don't tell anyone!

As for Ian, there's a reason his nickname in my family is "Newspapers". He reads several every day, but being in Int'l policy, he needs to!

We get a local newspaper delivered daily (in the afternoon). I also get the Wall Street Journal. I start at first page and read/skim pretty much everything.

We get the paper everyday- I read the comics first, then the local section, then pretty much everything but the sports (unless it's the day after the Nascar race, and I fell asleep during the race!
). I figure that the coupons I cut out on Sunday pretty much pay for our ordering the paper (much cheaper than buying it on the newsstand
).

That makes 3 of us! I always go to the court records and the police logs first. Good thing is ours is daily (M-S), and the local cops put in the entire police log every day - meaning every single call they respond too winds up in the paper - with an address!
Let's us all know who's doin what in this town.

Thing I like about ours too is twice a week (Tues & Sat) we have what's called the pulseline. They give one whole page to the town and people just anonymously write in and b*tch about anything under the sun. It can be soooo freakin funny to read!
