What do you like about your weekly newspaper?

I tend to focus only on the news, sometimes business, then move to comics. I entirely dismiss classifieds or sports. Just don't care. I know that my grandpa likes those puzzles near the cartoon section, but I don't favor them. If you get a paper, what is the reason or part of the paper which compels you beyond just reading articles online?

I like to read the lifestyle section or parenting articles. I skip general local news as it is usually sad or depressing. If there are any articles on politics, then I might read those to get caught up. Other than that, I love to read the cooking and recipes sections. Sometimes our local neighborhood newspaper has a section just for that. And that is always fun. I get lots of ideas for dinner from that paper. There's a really fun Mommy Magazine that is really a newspaper and they feature stories about local parks and fun kid activities and parenting issues and such. I read that whenever I can get the paper. Thanks for the fun discussion. I love talking about reading. Be well!

Our Food section is nice, but I never seem to get around to actually making the recipes. :(

I ususally buy the local paper tht comes out once a week and read all the local news,I but the Sunday edition of the Washingotn Post so I can read national news and get the sunday parade. I love the parade section of the paper and read the Wash post magazine section, I also love the travel,food and entertainment sections.

Travel reminds me of where I can't afford to go. The food section, however, is neat because it lets me know what people who can cook can eat. :) I try to cook, but I'm not as organized as a real cook.

My weekly paper has decent local sports coverage and classifieds. I do read the obits sometimes, but I am usually afraid I will see my name in there!

I rarely get a newspaper. I will sometimes pick up a paper while I am out shopping. Since I live in a rural area the paper local paper comes out once a week. It does not take long to read it from cover to cover. That is what I normally do.

Certain news topics catch my attention. After that our local paper has a Bargain Box section. I like looking there. I am currently in the market for some kitchen chairs. Hoping to find a deal. I also view the real estate section. It is interestingto watch what housing market is doing.

I read the cartoons. I don't usually laugh much, but every once in awhile... it's worth it.
