I still do. Since i started my work a year ago, I am hooked on reading newspaper. Im having fun and Im learning more when i started this kind of interest. Since then, my day wouldn't be complete if i cant read the newspaper.And when I'm hooked here in my lot, Most of my started discussions are digged from the newspapers that I read. Most of them got positive responses and others are don't. And also mostly of the blogs that i wrote at my blogsite are also from the newspapers. You?, Do you still read newspapers?

I don't read the news paper anymore or should I day buy a paper anymore. Most of my news is read on the internet. I check most of the news here and read articles that might not even be in the local paper. From time to time I check the local news here were I live in the US. But most of the time I check CNN or CBS news for the update on the world and the news in the US. I don't have a blog and there is not a blog that I check that much. But i just go to those sites that I have named for new updates. Have a good one.

Well eversince I started mylotting, I have totally forgotten how to read newspapers. I am now satisfied with just turning on the radio to get the latest news. I can no longer afford to open the newspapers because I would rather spend time here at mylot. Ha!ha!ha! Well good for you that you still have time. As I could see you get substantial benefits from doing so. You can really get lots of ideas from the newspapers so I do understand why you still find time reaing them.

Yes madam, also listening to the radio news can help. But here in our place, i cant understand the news on the radio, because most of the staions here speaks with their local languages and i really can't understad "Ilocano". Thats why i just still stick to the newaspaper and also having fun from it. also earning.

I read the Daily Inquirer every time I go to Jollibee . I am subscribing to some online news sites, though. It's good that the newspapers were useful to you.

Hello kababayan, I do get my newspaper at Jollibee too. But just to correct you, its not inquirer, they give The Philippine Star. And I really like this newspaper.

Hey magna86. I read newspaper daily either in morning or at night. It is my hobby. Since last 20 yrs I am reading newspaper. It is true that due to technological advancement there is no need to read newspaper but still I feel that reading newspaper is a good habit as you can learn many things , you can improve your knowledge in literature, writing skill , vocabulary etc. Specially I read only editorial and sports page. pkc3000

I'm still reading a newspaper every morning as I still subscribe to local newspaper. I found that its important to keep subscribing to local newspaper, because I hardly found any local news in internet. Internet news site only publish international interest news only.

Hi bro. Yes, I still read newspapers that's when some bought me a latest newspaper. I usually browse the net now in reading news and even updated typhoons.... I guess since our we have a high technology now, some people prefer to browse the net to get latest news.

i can't really remember the last time i bought or hold a newspaper. i really don't know why i stop buying one. or maybe because i have my computer where i can read all kinds of news. and everyday i am watching evening news. usually what we find in newspaper is already at the news in television.

I grew up with my parents having three newspaper publications delivered to our house everyday. Well, I started reading the comic section and later on to the entertainment and movie section. Now I still read newspapers everyday from cover to cover just to be currently informed about what's happening around the world. Of course, it really helps that I love reading.

Sometimes, I can't always get my hands on a newspaper after the rest of my family's gotten ahold of it. And we can't always afford newspapers either. I do alot of my news online, since it tends to be slightly more reliable. But I read the newspapers to see what's going on locally.

I buy the newspaper from time to time but I am not an avid reader like you are. And I do agree with you, one can learn a lot from a newspaper.

Yes my friend I still read newspapers.Sometimes I watched it on TV but most of the times I go online and read.There is so much to read and so many news channels in internet.But, when it comes to local news,what is happening around me,I prefer to read newspaper so that I can keep myself updated on my surroundings as well.

I read a newspaper everyday. I know that I can see much information and more update than newspaper but Our local news can hardly found in blog or internet. So I still need newspaper. My favourite part in newspaper is the headline, the sport and economy one.

I do not subscribe to a newspaper, but I still read some free papers such as Metro which is widely distributed in newsboxes and transit stations. I prefer those to online news, but my favorite medium of news broadcast is still radio.
