Do you have the habit of reading newspaper daily? How many newspapers do you read? Whats your favorite coloumn in the newspaper? Do you have any fixed time to read newspaper or you read it anytime when you get time? I am asking this because I know few people who don't start their day till they read newspaper. Are you also one of them?

I dont have any faourite columns in newspaper. I will read most of the articles in the newspaper.But I used to watch about the stock market without fail even if I dont have any shares in the market

Not everyday. I would rather prefer reading a book than a newspaper everyday. Newspapers are all about bits and pieces. I like to read of a subject in detail - not just a glimpse of it. I want to see the depth - i wish to swim in the ocean - not in a shallow pond.

Thanks for responding! In books we can just read one or few topics whereas a newspaper keeps us updated about all topics although in bits and pieces, but we can read about it in detail through online or some book if we are interested in it.

Let any number of TV channels come, nothing to outbeat the age old Newspaper.At 5.30 a.m. I get the nespapers (distribution office is nearby my house) and with a cup of coffee, I read the paper till 6.15. Later My reads the sports section and my wife reads other interesting items. Newspapers is a part and parcel of our life.

Yes, I have a habit of reading the newspaper daily. It’s a part of my morning ritual. Its not that I cant start my day without the paper, but I definitely prefer the printed pages more to the several news channels on TV. I don’t have a fixed time for going thru my paper. Early in the morning, I just take a casual glance at the main headlines and then in the evening or maybe after dinner at bed, I go thru the paper thoroughly. On days that I don’t have time even for that or I am too tired, I feel really bad if I just have to fold the newspaper and keep it without reading it properly.

I mostly read my local newspaper daily online. I read every section except the bussiness and classified sections. Sundays is the only day that I read the paper as a paper not online. Now they have started not to include the TV guide in the Sunday papers here in Minneapolis Minnesota. Just the listing in the variety section like the weekdays have them listed. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Thanks for responding! Yes, thats true that reading newspaper is really a good habit as it increases our knowledge. Also reading all parts really helps in increasing general knowledge.

Yeah, I have a habit of reading the newspaper everyday.. I consider my day incomplete if I don't read the newspaper.. I find it the only means to stay in touch with the everyday issues since I don't watch news on tv...

I read the newspapers once in a while. I mostly read the opinion columns then jump to entertainment or lifestyle and then on to my favorite part, the comics!LOL! However I am not one of those people who cannot start the day without the paper. I only read the newspapers when I have some time to spare and when it is available. I mostly read our office's newspaper subscription and buy on my own probably once or twice a month only.

Good discussion - thank you, indiavani. Reading newspaper is my habitual reading, and for now as internet and media technologies' advancement, so I read newspaper online. It takes me for half an hour reading to two (2) major newspaper publisher; New Straits Time and The Star. The New Straits Time (oldest publisher) http://www.thestar.com.my/ The Star (tabloid version) http://www.nst.com.my/ General knowledge is very important for me, even though sometimes I heard it last night on TV Prime News, but the details of it is more informative and elaborative. At least one of my resource to my mylot interest; in making posting or responding to discussion . I mean the SALIENT information.

Thanks for responding! My dad also says the same that newspaper increases general knowledge so its really a good habit to read newspapers. But I read all the headlines in the newspaper, I don't read in detail. I read in detail only if I find the topic of my interest. Otherwise I usually read the headlines only, but I read all the headlines in the newspaper and read the first page only in detail.

I do read newspaper daily and keep myself upto date on whats happening around. we subsribe to three newspapers. Indian express, dainik jagran and economic times. Economic times is the one which i use to keep myself update regarding financial news and economy as i invest in stocks. Other two give me handy information about whats going around the nation and the city special edition gives news about the city. With every little more around the world having effect on our stockmarkets the need to keep ourselves updated is very much a need.
