I don't get a newspaper delivered. I used to check out our local newspaper online but now it's a pay site so no more. I get all my news online. Usually on the laptop.

We still get the paper, I like to be able to pick it up whenever I want and read articles. I love my Kindle but it's not the same to read a newspaper online, it just feels different.

    We had the newspaper delivered for years but it's got smaller and smaller over the years and more and more expensive, even online.  I pick up the weekly free papers from our area to find out local happenings and watch local news on TV.

I don't read newspapers anymore. I get all the news I need from online or from watching TV when I get home.

Caveat: I look at the NY Times because we get it at the office.  But I never actually sit and read it.  It's more for browsing the recipe section

We don't get a newspaper delivered anymore, but I do read it in print every day at work.

Rick reads the newspaper via his iPad. (We're starting to read a lot of magazines through our iPads now, too. Sports Illustrated, Consumer Reports, etc. Rick got Sports Illustrated online free with his paid print subscription and we switched over to Consumer Reports online instead of print.)

I get my news primarily on-line, rarely on TV.  I've had electronic subscriptions to the NYT in the past but found I was able to get enough news through free sites and the free articles per month.

Who needs "real" news when you have TMZ and Radar Online anyway? 
  The important stuff.   
Ah, yes, TMZ!  I used to watch it religiously just because the whole crew was so funny.  Couldn't care less about the celebrities though.

i still have the local newspaper delivered daily, but only until towards the end of march. i cancelled it because my trash removal service price increased from $33.21/year to $253.68/year. cancelling the newspaper offset the better part of that price increase. i didn't read the newspaper often, used it for the wood stove.

i prefer to get my news online, scan the headlines and take a closer look if something strikes my interest.

If you're looking for newspapers for the wood stove, you should join rewardsurvey.com 

I've been with them for a few years now. They send you quick, random surveys and the surveys "pay" you usually 20 to 30 dollars in credits that you can use for free magazine and newspaper subscriptions. They have the Wall Street Journal. I used to get it to use to light my barbecue and give to a friend to line her birdcage!  


It's a daily paper so it would add up. They have paper and digital magazine subscriptions. They range in price (credits) from $20 up to $75 for the more popular ones like US Weekly and the WSJ. 

They also have e- books but kind of obscure ones (at least to me).

Nope, never have. I just watch the news occasionally. I don't even like to watch it that much, Too much negative stuff! .....& sad stuff I am just too sensitive to hear on a regular basis. Any other stuff is just boring to me.

I probably get most from watching the Today show in the mornings, while I get ready for work, & some local news,sometimes in the evening. I wouldn't have time to read all of that anyway.

My little town is so small that we only have a weekly paper.  My neighbor gets it and passes it on to me.  I also get local news via yahoo.

Mostly online.  And the free daily newspaper, when I'm out and see one.  Occasionally tv news.

We used to get the Chicago Tribune daily. Then we were down to three times a week shortly after we moved. Had that for ages. Then just the Sunday paper for a couple years, then sometime early last year canceled it all together. I do like to get the papers with the colorful Black Friday ads though in November. They make GREAT wrapping paper!! :D

As for online, I don't have an online subscription to anything.
