Your Daily Paper

How many of you get your daily paper on line and not delivered anymore? We do, and like it - there is no clutter anymore!!

I do like the absence of clutter, but I hated not having the newspaper in my hands,

Also, I read more and more deeply when I'm reading paper instead of screen.

I have a digital subscription, which includes delivery of a Sunday paper every week. I really enjoy getting an actual paper once a week, but like having the ability to read it online, as well. I will definitely renew my subscription when it comes due.

Our paper charges over a hundred dollars a year more for web only access. Instead we get daily delivery and web access for less money.

Like Wookie, I get the Sunday edition delivered and read the daily paper online.

We get the paper edition, every day. My husband doesn't use a computer but even if he did, I know he'd prefer to hold the paper in his hand and not read from a screen.

I must have the daily paper in my hands. My morning just isn't right without scanning the paper and doing the puzzles every day. During the day, I check for news updates on line.

I tried getting the paper somewhat recently and I had to quit it. It was more of a pain than it was worth. Some papers wouldn't show up. They would offer to extend my subscription but all I wanted was just to get the papers. Then the person must have just driven by, stuck his arm out the window, and drop the paper on the street. He couldn't have at least tossed it somewhere near my house?

I didn't last long. I don't get an online version, though. I just pick up bits and bobs of news here and there.

It was great for several years reading online for free instead of print. Now they have started charging for being able to read certain articles unless you have a subscription for online. I wrote them an email and said forget it. I read what I can then move onto other local media outlets for the rest of the news.

Recently they stopped home delivery of our local paper to rural areas.

DH loves to read the newspaper every morning before he goes for coffee, so we still subscribe. I sometimes read the on line edition but he seldom does.

I have a digital subscription to me hometown paper, the New York Times and the Washington Post. I get print copies of me hometown paper and the NYTimes on Sunday. I'm seriously thinking about totally skipping the hometown paper as the only difference between the free, online edition and the paid one is formatting.

For 14 dollars a month we just get the weekend papers, and full access to on line. To buy the daily paper it's $300.00, way more than we can afford. We haven't been getting any for years now because of the money, but the online version won't let us see anything unless we pay something, it used to be free, but someone told us to just get the weekend edition and then we get the full paper on line. We have missed obituaries because we didn't have anything for awhile.

We can't give up the newsprint. It has a lot of uses like lining the birdcage, starting a fire, wrapping flowers and cleaning windows just to name a few.

No, we get them delivered, my husband likes that. We get the Raleigh News and Observer, WSJ, USA Today, Investors Business Daily and Washington Post.

I have just noticed that our local newspaper (News&Observer) has shrunk. It is so tiny both by length and width. It looks like a newspaper for the kiddies. lol

I like actually having the paper in hand while I am drinking my tea. I'm not much for reading from the computer. It's not the same thing to me.

I like a REAL physical book in hand....and a real newspaper. Old school I guess. Oh, like the previous poster said....I need the paper for my bird cages!

As long as they will deliver papers we will keep getting it! We get the paper delivered 7 days a week. I cant start my day without it! I eat breakfast while I read the paper. Been reading the paper since I was in grade school. Also, I don't see it as clutter. We recycle everything here (by law). They pick up recycling weekly. So our newspapers get recycled too of course.
