before, we don't run out of newspapers at home. i remembered i always have them since i am a writer before in our school paper. i feel the need to have them since i gather data for my articles. i have interviewed the newspapers vendors and i just knew that their sales declined due to the fact that internet access is already readily available. how about you? are you still buying them?

With the help of news papers, we can access the day today news wherever we want, like while travelling, in the bathrooms and toilets, whereas net news dont have such advantages, and they are very brief, but news papers flash news in detail. I prefer news paper, secondly the used news papers can be recycled/used/sold.

that's absolutely true. People will read the newspaper to get the total information that is happening in the world.Even though the technology has developed lot with the implement of television and internet peoples have got the habit of reading newspaper in the early morning after from the bed. Exposure to the news is not limited; readers can go back to the messages again and again if so desired. you're right too in terms of recycling these papers.

I used to have a habit of reading newspapers. But now, with the development of the Internet, I often gain information via the Internet.

Yes, I believe that most people here will choose the news on the Internet instead of reading newspapers. Compared with newspapers, we can gain the latest news with a high speed. At the same time, we don't need any moeny for the news online while we have paid for the newspapers. So, it is ovbiously that sales of newspapers would decline due to the fact that internet access is already readily available.

In my opinion, it is unnecessary completely to buy the newspapers.

Occasionally I will read the newspaper but for the most part I get my news off the internet. I do a lot of work on the computer so it is more convenient for me to read the new online and I don't have the added expense of buying the paper.

yes.that's more convenient and is less costly too.

Yes, we do buy newspaper daily.

I am from Sri Lanka. I don't read much news on papers. But my dad buys the daily news(Tamil language) daily... Mum reads the paper daily and tell me all the important news...

On Sunday's we buy both the English n Tamil news paper...

I read only the English paper as I don't understand Tamil much..

I just go through the pics on Tamil Paper...

On net, I don't read daily.. If any News titles is catchy Ion yahoo home page, I read it...

Ever since i started having an internet connection at home, i never had bought newspapers and even magazines anymore. I just open the internet and i could find almost everything, it's as if i have a giant library inside my house so i just thank the creator of internet.

Yes I still do. I am still much satisfied in reading the daily newspaper. It's because somehow some little bits of the newspapers are not really posted in the net (well atleast in the case of my newspaper).
