I do read first the money exchange rates in a newspaper. Cause i watch closely everyday how the philippine peso is doing against the dollar. And when the dollar is stronger then it means that i will have higher conversion rate in my local currency so i watch it closely also in my paypal. I plan to let my money sit first in paypal. and when the dollar gets really strong and gives me more money in pesos then i would withdraw my money from paypal. People usually here do tend to read the exchange rate a lot cause lots of filipino people have relatives working in foreign countries who send them remittances. and so they are also keep monitoring the exchange rate in the market. Even in the local news, they have this news below the screen of the tv, that flashes the headlines including the exchange rate as it moves across the screen below toward the left to give all the headlines while the broadcast of news i going on. and so i don't have to watch the whole news to know the exchange rate. I think it is the most exciting part of the newspaper actually? i would literally jump up and down when the dollar is getting stronger and stronger. but wish though the pesos would recover after i have withdrawn money already from paypal and wait for the dollat go stronger again when i have money again in paypal

I do read the newspaper and usually I read the headlines first. I usually pay particular attention on big issues in our locality so the headlines would be my first target. After that, I usually just scan around the newspaper.

I read the headlines first from page 1 to the last page in the main news section then I take time to read all the articles in the lifestyle section then go back to page 1 and read the banner news for the day. Then after that, I go to the opinion page and read the items of my favorite columnist. I seldom go to the sports section.

I always go and read the entertainment section first. I want to be entertained before I get to the gory details of the newspaper's front page. I also make sure that I read the winning number of the lottery.

seems most readers prefer to go to this section. i don't any more. cause i am not interested to the celebrities locally that has been on newspapers lately. if i like the celebrities that has been on headlines often then i will surely visit that section.

I always go to the entertainment and lifestyle pages before, then to the current events. I haven't held a newspaper for quite a while because I usually check online news already. :D

yeah i think that most people prefer reading in online the news. cause it saves time and money. and also i don't like having lots of newspaper. it has been a problem on how to dispose them and they occupy too much space in my house.
