I have a list of websites in which I do read the news online. It is an economical way of reading news and thus saving a lot of paper and trees. I only buy the Sunday papers every now and then. Do you buy daily newspapers or read them online? © ronaldinu 2008

I turn on the radio every morning to hear the news. Each night I'd also turn on to late news on TV so don't buy newspapers anymore. Besides even if I'd buy I don't think I have the time to read. I am reading my Bible each morning so no more time for newspapers.

Sometimes I buy newspaper and sometimes I will read online. If I have time, I will buy newspaper. If I don't have time, I will read online while doing Mylot. Reading online sure saves money to buy newspaper. But I prefer to hold the newspaper and read it. Usually at online, the news are shorter and don't have full details. I prefer to read newspaper than read online. Only if I don't have choice, I will read online.

I'm afraid I'm guilty for buying daily newspapers. We have them sent to out doorstep every morning. If I go to work and do most of my job on the computer, I guess it is convenient. But I'm home and looking after my daughter. She hates me sitting at the comp too long. She wants me to get up and play with her. She must be wondering why mommy is motionless. Either that, or she wants to press all the keys on the keyboard. Gosh! I think it's a great way to save money (now that even the newspapers is getting more expensive, can you believe it?) and the environement at teh same time. I would consider this potion if everyone in this house knows how to use teh internet. My MIL doesn't and she relies on teh physical newspaper for her news. So we still need to buy them. But, we recycle them, of course. We sell them to the newspaper collectors who come by teh house regularly.

I usually buy newspaper only on Sunday when I have more time to relax and read. During the week there is no much time to read whole newspaper so I prefer to read the topics which I am interested in on the Internet. I think this is also environmental friendly what is great.

We only buy our local paper. Mom subscribes to another weekly paper, but other than that we read them online. I have several newspapers on my bookmarks that I look at every day.

There are so many different news available online. It's no need to buy the newspaper any more. However, my mom seldom uses computer and she isn't good at it at all. So she will buy newspaper anyway. I love China

I rarely read newspapers, unless it is a Sunday paper. I mostly read news online or watch news media videos everyday to seek current events.

Oh I only read online. Just like your reason, I think it is more economical. Anyway the news are available online so I believe there is no need to buy the papers and even if I'd buy I don't have time to read them. I also turn on the radio to hear the news every morning as I prepare for work so I think there is no need to buy newspapers!

My husband buys the paper daily but I read most of my news online or see it on tv. I can watch the news and be online at the same time.

I do a little of both, the headlines of my local newspaper have to be good for me to buy it and well I have to be broke and be interested on the local news for me to go online.

I read the papers' main titles in the subway when I go to work. Except I don't buy the papers, I read the titles from the other people reading their papers in the subway. I don't read the papers online either. I get the daily news from the radio I listen everyday.

Hey ronaldinu, I do not buy the newspapers at all. I haven't brought a newspaper in years. I read the news online and watch the news on tv. I see no reason to buy the newspaper when I can either read about waht's going on while I am on the internet or turn on the tv and see what is going on locally here in my town or in the city around me. It is alot better than reading it in the newspaper.

newspaper - real or online newspaper?
Although I like more to buy them, but i read online. It`s easier and takes less time. Buy them when I want to keep an article from a particular reason...
